        Do you want to celebrate your birthday with dinosaurs? "Dinosaurs are BIG and strong. / They're clumsy and they're FARTY," we're told. "So do you really want them coming / to your birthday party?" A birthday banner drapes across the gutter, while full-bleed art depicts a diverse group of partygoers surrounded by dinos and looking perturbed (one child is holding their nose). The party appears to be thrown by a pair of adults for their child (all are brown-skinned). Spread after spread features overly busy art and more verse about why dinosaurs make poor party guests. A dinosaur at a pool party would jump in and displace all the water. Brontosaurus would love playing hide-and-seek--but likely wouldn't be very good at it. Dinosaurs would gobble up all the food and, in their haste, accidentally trample all the birthday gifts. But, the narrator points out, dinosaurs are well intentioned, and soon we see examples of prehistoric pals working to make the celebration a smashing success--a group of kids use a dinosaur belly as a trampoline, and a velociraptor joins in for a fun game of tag. Though some dino fans may enjoy this one, it doesn't rise to the top. The art is garish, and the verse often scans awkwardly. (This book was reviewed digitally.) In the crowded field of dinosaur-themed children's books, this one does not shine. (Picture book. 3-5)
