School Library Journal - 08/01/2024 PreS-Gr 2—As a young child is tucked in bed for the evening, he envisions himself as a dinosaur. In this charming and creative sequel to Geisel Award Honor–winning Nothing Fits a Dinosaur, a young boy with brown skin has no fear after his teeth are brushed and bath time is complete. Laying awake, he can't help but hear a scratch behind the closet door and see a giant shadow on the wall. Fortunately, his dinosaur alter ego is ready for any challenge, and he responds to the intruders with a flick of his tail, stomp of the feet, and a mighty ROAR! Mommasaurus soon hears the commotion and reminds her dear dino that it is lights out. The concluding image reveals that the earlier disturbances were simply toys and other items in the child's room. Each spread includes one to four rhyming sentences with a range of three to 12 words. Young readers will delight in the child's innovative response to lighthearted bedtime fears, while caregivers will relate to Mommasaurus's requests for quiet. VERDICT This winning book is certain to be a bedtime favorite, alongside Jane Yolen's How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight? and Rhiannon Fielding's Little Dinosaur (Ten Minutes to Bed).—Olivia Gorecke - Copyright 2024 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
