“Playful, doodlelike illustrations capture the curiosity of a silly scenario that turns out to be equal parts poignant and giggle-worthy. Evenly dispersed pictures and text punctuate the antics of the dinosaur and his human partygoer buddies, creating a hullabaloo that ends with a sweet, surprising twist. . . . Reading this crowd-pleaser aloud may cause clamorous laughter in even the most serious of storytime attendees.” —School Library Journal
