My review:

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have Dinosaurs at a birthday party, well Adam Wallace’s, A Very Dinosaur Birthday, will answer every question that an inquisitive child child could come up with, from what kinds of activities would work, or wouldn’t work, what might be on the menu, to what might happen if a friendly dinosaur guest happens to help blow out the candles on the birthday cake. Wallace’s narrative is fun, witty and easy to read, perfect for reading to those who can’t yet read or for those who are just learning to read to test their reading skills. 

Plus Nielsen’s illustrations are clever, colorful, fun and will appeal to any dinosaur loving child.

And at the end there are hints on how to plan your own dinosaur birthday. From the first page to the last, A Very Dinosaur Birthday, will delight that special child in your life, the book is perfect for gift giving or let them pick it out on their own.
