Dinos Love Donuts (Mythical Feasts)

My daughter is squarely in her dinosaur phase, and she also has a major sweet tooth (what 4-year-old doesn't?), so "Dinos Love Donuts" felt like it was written just for her. The whole idea of different dinosaurs chowing down on giant donuts is just the right kind of silly for her. We've had some good giggles over which dino would eat which donut and how messy they'd be.The Good Stuff (Pros):Winning Combo: Dinosaurs plus donuts? It's a pretty genius pairing for kid appeal. My little one was hooked from the cover.Yummy Illustrations: The pictures are bright, colorful, and make the donuts look incredibly tempting – even the dinos seem to agree! She loves pointing out the different types of donuts and the funny expressions on the dinosaurs' faces.Silly Scenarios: The book doesn't take itself too seriously, which is great. It’s fun to imagine these huge creatures delicately (or not so delicately) handling their sweet treats. It led to some funny imaginative play for us later.Easy to Follow: The story, from what I recall (it’s been a few reads now!), was pretty straightforward. The text wasn’t too dense, which is good for her attention span and for her starting to pick out some familiar words.Could Be Better (Cons):More of a Fun Romp than a Deep Story: If you're looking for a book with a big message or intricate plot, this is more about the fun visuals and the silly concept. But for a lighthearted read, it’s perfect.Wanted MORE Dinos/Donuts!: My daughter actually wished there were even more types of dinosaurs and donuts featured. She started listing off other dinos she knows and what donut they'd like.Bottom Line: This was a really fun, lighthearted book that hit on two of my daughter's favorite things. It’s a visual treat, sparks the imagination, and is just plain enjoyable. If you've got a dino-loving, donut-appreciating kid, they'll probably eat this one up!

Both my kids (3.5, 1.5) LOVED this book! Would be great for older kids as well. It's a good length. Colors and illustrations are beautiful and captivated my kids' attention (and they have short attention spans!). Fun for parents too - loved the puns, the cute conversation bubbles, and all the new words to teach the kids along the way. Although the intent of the book is not necessarily educational, it served as a good conversation starter on some new words, types of dinosaurs, and what happened to the dinosaurs (in real life!).There's a recipe at the end of donut holes - we are excited to make them. Love that there's an associated activity. And both my kids love baking.Would make a great addition to a home library as well as a very fun birthday gift for others. I will be buying more to gift my nieces and friends!

My girl loves this book we read probably once a day, the illustrations are also very well done. I enjoy the rhyming style and that it introduced new words to my girl

I stumbled upon 'Dinos Love Donuts' while searching for a special gift for a friend's baby shower, and what a gem it turned out to be! Despite not being a parent myself, I was instantly drawn to the whimsical charm and clever storytelling of this book. The imaginative premise of dinosaurs obsessing over donuts, using them for everything from safety to dance props, was very clever and cute. The author's knack for playful rhymes and the vibrant illustrations brought the prehistoric party to life in such a light and fun way! This feels like a book that a kiddo can grow into and get enjoyment out of at many ages.Even though I was buying this gift for a baby shower, I loved how 'Dinos Love Donuts' bridges the gap between children's entertainment and adult enjoyment seamlessly. There was subtle humor sprinkled throughout and I ended up flipping through it multiple times before wrapping it up for the baby shower.If you're searching for a gift that's not just another run-of-the-mill baby book but rather a treasure that both parents and their little ones can enjoy together, look no further than 'Dinos Love Donuts.'

this was a fun read for a child

This book is a tongue twister/mouthful to read but our child loves the images and story! It's a cute story and fun to look at the pictures.

The grandkids love this book.

The kids love this book. The vibrant illustrations bring the playful dinos to life in a way that is both captivating and endearing, and the subtle touch of adult humor adds an extra layer of enjoyment for parents. What truly sets this book apart is its message of overcoming fears and trying new things. It's a book that will surely become a favorite. I highly recommend it to any parent looking for a fun and engaging read that will entertain both kids and adults alike. Our kids are 7 months and 3 years and it's more a hit with the 3yo but I'm sure the younger one will love it too!
