- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Sure to be popular with young boys.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5My son (4 years old) and I have enjoyed many of the previous Dino books (Dino-Hockey, Dino-Soccer, Dino-Baseball) by Wheeler, as well as her book Boogie-Knights. This book was a great addition to the series.Again the Meat-Eaters and the Grass-Clippers take the court in competition to see who will win! With fun rhymes and wonderful pictures this was another great book in the series. My son was very engaged in the book and said that "It was wonderful!"This whole series of books has been wonderful and combines two things kids (especially little boys) love: sports and dinosaurs. I highly recommend this book if you have a preschooler who is a fan of sports and/or dinosaurs. It is written in rhyme and all of the dinosaur names are highlighted with which team they are on (meat-eater or veggie-eater). A great way for young kids to learn some of the rules behind sports and to learn about dinosaurs.I do have to say that I think our absolute favorite was Dino-Hockey, but we are pretty big hockey fans. Because Basketball is so high-scoring this book doesn't follow the scoring as well as other books; it is still a ton of fun though and very cleverly done.Overall another wonderful kids' book by Wheeler. Definitely one to check out if you have little sports or dinosaur fans at home. These are some of my favorite books to read out-loud as an adult because they rhyme in fun ways, have good rhythm, and are just a ton of fun. We will definitely keep checking out this series of kids' books in the future (Looks like Dino-Football is up next)!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5“They celebrate – cut down the net. This was their finest season yet.” Thus ends the game between the Red Team (meat loving carnivores), versus the Green Team (veggie loving herbivores). The announcer, in rhyming verse, calls this riveting game full of real-life basketball action: alley-oops, pivots, jumps, fouls, traveling, tending. The Green Team dinosaurs are huge. Stego, Pachy, Tricera, and Jobar are a few of the players. The Red Team, much smaller yet faster, include team-mates Ptero, Raptor, T. Rex and Galli. The illustrations are colorful, animated, and comical in the depiction of dinosaurs as basketball players. I loved it. The story has excitement, entertaining sports action and emotional coaches. Mid-game there is a half-time show made up of original, rarely, if ever seen, acts like the dinosuar-pyramid, mascots, music and what looks like an Elvis-impersonator dinosaur. The fans sing a very appropriately dinosaur-athlete song. It is wild and fun and everything a half-time show should be. Back to the action in the second half, the heat is on as the dinosaurs ramp up their game. The players become more intense as the end draws near. A few fast plays will keep you on the edge of your seat until the buzzer sounds. The winner cuts down the net and shows off the trophy. The crowd goes wild. You will not be disappointed with this book. Kids will love everything about this story. It is engaging, exciting and unusual. This is the “can’t miss” game of the year.Note: received galley from Net Galley, courtesy of the publisher
