The Dinosaur That Pooped Daddy / A Rainbow books - Review + Printables

We absolutely the Dinosaur that Pooped books and we've been lucky enough to review a few books in the series in the past.




With Father's Day approaching, I jumped at the chance to review a new publication to the existing series by Tom Fletcher and Dougie Poynter - The Dinosaur That Pooped Daddy. 

Previously the books have been paperbacked stories but this one is a smaller board book so it's great for younger readers too. My daughter E (aged 21 months) really enjoyed being able to hold it and flip through the pages too.

The book starts off showing a mess that daddy has made and Danny and Dino need to try and find him. It is a great book for learning number skills. As the pages go by you see ten pairs of pants, nine pencils and so on until number one. In typical Dinosaur That Pooped fashion - yep, you guessed it - Dino poops out daddy!

We also received a copy of The Dinosaur That Pooped a Rainbow. This one is also a board book and it works in the same way only with teaching colours. As soon as the books arrived, the kids wanted to read them right away and have read them every night since. C has almost completely memorised them too! Both kids love the end where the see the word POO in massive letters. I really love books that can be funny and educational all in one package.

The Dinosaur That Pooped a Planet Sound Book & The Dinosaur That Pooped The Bed - Review

Way back in December last year, C was lucky enough to get the chance to review three of Tom Fletcher and Dougie Poynter's (of McFly fame) 'The Dinosaur That Pooped' books and they went down a treat! 

He is a very lucky boy again and has received the new book, 'The Dinosaur That Pooped The Bed' as well as a sound book copy of the 'The Dinosaur That Pooped a Planet'. You can read my full review of the '...Planet' book here. The book is exactly the same except it is a hardbacked cover with fun buttons that make relevant sounds when pushed and C absolutely loved them and thought they were hilarious.

I love sound books for children as I find that they are a great way to capture attention. This one in particular is very funny as it has a lot of poo sounds which are perfect for my little monkey. He was in stitches! 

'The Dinosaur That Pooped a Planet' sound book retails at £7.00 on Amazon.

I really want to focus on the new book; 'The Dinosaur That Pooped The Bed'. The story is similar to the others. Danny and Dino need to tidy Danny's room which is a bit of a tip. As it is so messy, Danny has a clever idea - why doesn't Dino eat it instead? Dino eats everything, even Danny's bed! Dino got bigger and bigger so they were stuck inside and couldn't get out. Suddenly, Dino felt like he needed to poo and everything came straight back out again.

This is such a funny little book and one that C wants read to him over and over again. I love that the lines rhyme and it just flows brilliantly. I know it will be one of C's favourites for a long time! The other books are all number 1 UK bestsellers and I can definitely see this one following in its footsteps.

'The Dinosaur That Pooped The Bed' can be purchased for £3.85 on Amazon.

The Dinosaur That Pooped... Books - Review

I was absolutely chuffed when we were given the opportunity to review these books. I was a huge McFly fangirl back in the day so just the fact that they were written by two members of the band (Tom Fletcher & Dougie Poynter) made me so sure that I'd love them. 

We were lucky enough to receive all the books in the series; The Dinosaur That Pooped The Past, The Dinosaur That Pooped A Planet and The Dinosaur That Pooped Christmas, alongside an activity pack. 

Firstly, these books are hilarious! Me, at 22 years of age, found myself giggling out loud. Of course; C thought I was crazy but he'll understand eventually. The books rhyme which was a great way to capture my 2 year olds attention. The illustrations are great and equally funny. 

Boys seem to be really into toilet humour (even at 2 years old) so the fact that you have "POO" in big letters made him laugh and repeat it over and over again.

The stories are in a similar vein. Danny's pet dinosaur eats everything around him then poops in out. Although the storyline is basically the same throughout all books, it doesn't get boring and they are hilarious no matter how many times you read them. 

We also received an activity pack which C loved. It kept him occupied for a good hour and got him even more interested in the books!

There is also a little video about the books which you can see below:

The books can be purchased from Amazon: The Dinosaur That Pooped Christmas, The Dinosaur That Pooped a Planet & The Dinosaur That Pooped The Past.
