Super cute rhyming book good for kids in kinder through 2nd grade who love dinosaurs. My 6 yr old really liked that Gus favorite dinosaur the triceratops drives his favorite car - a jeep.

A very descriptive and unique story of dinosaurs told in poetry. This Dino story includes some lesser featured dinosaurs.

What a fun way to learn about dinosaurs! These dinosaurs are put into positions you know aren't real, and you get to think about what dinosaur parts would make it impossible for them to, say, drive a car. The language and pictures are hilarious, and I found myself grinning and giggling all the way through. Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this.

Dinos That Drive is a cute and educational poetry book introducing the reader to dinosaur types as they adventure in various vehicles.

From rocket-ships to RVs, Titanosaurs to Velociraptors, two little dino friends take us on an adventure to meet various dinosaurs and their chosen modes of transportation. Chock full of cute jokes and nuggets of fun dino facts, toddlers and young children will adore this book! I appreciate that there were pronunciations because a few of the dinosaurs were actually new to me.

Just when you think if you’ve read one children’s dinosaur book you’ve read them all, Suzy Levinson manages to make this dinosaur book stand out with the flow of her poetry. The illustrations by Dustin Harbin are incredibly detailed and cute.

Overall this is a very fun and creative book and I’ll be purchasing for my kids upon release and recommending to all of my mom friends with dinosaur loving children.

Thank you NetGalley, Suzy Levinson, and Tundra Book Group for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I want to say thank you from the bottom of heart and my boys to the author, the publisher and Netgalley for allowing me and my boys the privilege of getting to read an ARC of this book!

My dino and car loving boys absolutely adored this book! They laughed out loud to so many of the poems and the little jokes made by the little dinosaurs, they can't wait for it come out so that way we can bring it home!

I loved the whole book! I've always loved poetry and this was an absolutely beautiful way to introduce it to children. The poems are catchy and cute and tie in perfectly with the incredible artwork. The tiny dinosaurs with their jokes and facts were such a great element! This was perfect for my kids (8 and 10) even younger kids will love this. This was educational and world expansive in honestly the perfect way for kids. Dinosaur and car lover's and so many more will devour (joke also intended based on some very kid-friendly poems) this book! Despite what it says this reminds me the most as if Shel Silverstein (great poems and matching photos) and Mo Willems (the fun, silliness and sometimes educational aspects) wrote a book together! I loved this so much and so did my kids, and we can't wait until we can bring it home!

Thank you so very much from the bottoms of our hearts again! We loved it!

Loved it! Beautifully illustrated! I plan to read this again and again to my grandchildren. It can be used as just a picture book for younger children. I received a complimentary e-copy of this book and read it with pleasure. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. Thank you, Tundra Books and NetGalley.
