“The texture in this book is amazing and different from other texture books. The colors are bold, bright, and fun! However, I didn't love the text. It was a little too repetitive to me (beyond the normal "you should never touch a dinosaur" on each page, two of the pages said you shouldn't pat a dino). I felt like only a few of the pages had thoughtful text, and the rest seemed like it was easily-created filler material.”

“The silicon touch-and-feel textures in this book are seriously so cool—some pages you just can't stop touching! The catchy text that warns you very strongly off touching a dinosaur (or else risk serious consequences!) is juxtaposed again bright, friendly-looking dinosaurs grinning at you from each page opposite and creates a humorous feel to the book.”
