Review from library copy.

Patrick, pay attention. ( )

This book teaches children the importance of keeping one's room tidy by pretending the children are dinosaurs. The pictures are humorous as they start out by making messes but in the end keep everything nice and clean. This is a great book because in addition to it be funny and cute, it actually promotes a good life skill--organization. I love how the dinosaurs are absolutely monstrous in size but are doing things that one would normally see a child doing. ( )

We are huge fans of all Yolen's/Teague's dinosaur books!
Great illustrations, very cute and humorous characters, and not many words on each page. Rhyming verse which also makes them good picks for new readers. Great for practicing punctuation ("?") ( )

We’ve got a three-peat rule at our house: we won’t read the same kid book more than three times in a row. With How do Dinosaurs Clean Their Rooms? we’re invoking the rule all the time.
It’s no wonder. The rhymes are catchy; the pictures whimsical; the examples of how not to clean hilariously realistic. It would be perfect if only it were a bit more gender inclusive. (Every dinosaur is different, and so are the parents. Would it kill Yolen to throw in a “she” now and then?) I know dinosaurs are traditionally a guy thing, but it’s my 2-year-old daughter who is on a dinosaur kick at the moment, and whenever I read this to her, the pronouns jar me.
Still, great book. Fun for her and fun for me. It’s not quite enough to tempt me to make an exception to the three-peat rule, but it’s close. ( )
