Reviews
"Animated text makes for fun reading and read-alouds, while Biggs' cartoonish, blocky illustrations with retro flair lend further humor and liveliness. Abundant witty details great and small throughout, like the car lot's ever-changing signs, amplify the laughs. A delightful blend of dinosaurs with things that go, sure to entertain aficionados of both." -Booklist
"Dinosaurs and vehicular modes of transportation meld in symbiotic bliss. Only the extinct would fail to enjoy this kicky amalgamation of dinos, deals, and automobiles." -Kirkus Reviews
"Smashed cars, expert kids, dinosaurs! Customer satisfaction guaranteed!" -The Horn Book Magazine
"The dialogue between Otto and his customers moves the story along quickly and gives readers opportunities to practice their dinosaur read-aloud voices. Illustrations feature gigantic and colorful dinosaurs squeezing themselves into tiny little cars, often with the sharp bits poking out. Silly and raucous, this is a perfect preschool storytime book." -School Library Journal
