Parents will be delighted to know that dinosaurs are, in fact,
very obedient with their bedtime routines. A dinosaur doesn't
'slam his tail and pout' or 'throw his teddy bear all about.'
This rhythmic story portrays classic bedtime resistance
activities (moping, moaning, crying, etc.), asking if dinosaurs
do that when they're saying goodnight. Each spread features a
comic portrayal of an enormous dinosaur resisting his/her
bedtime in a bedroom like a human child's room. At the end, we
learn that the way dinosaurs actually say goodnight is by being
polite, kissing the parent, and quietly going to sleep. Dinosaur
lovers will note that each bedroom has the name of the dinosaur
featured on the page hidden somewhere in the bedroom. Similar
