"Parents and grandparents, early childhood teachers, and daycare providers will be nodding their heads as they read this totally relatable picture book by Robin Currie. How to Dress a Dinosaur is an entertaining read-aloud filled with heart and humor that engages from the first page to the last. Vibrant illustrations by Alycia Pace depict a wonderfully diverse family and cast of dinosaur characters that are sure to delight! I wish I’d had this book when I was teaching kindergarten and raising my own children—I might not have had to sing dozens of nonsense songs each time I helped the children get dressed."

"How to Dress a Dinosaur captures an everyday conflict: diaper-clad 'dino' versus Mom. With places to go, Mom must navigate the daily routine—the dinosaur way! Don your shirt with a velociraptor and put your pants on with a triceratops. But beware the mama T-Rex! Hilarious art adds human features to a variety of famous dinos. It’s easy to see daily life with children in the colorfully illustrated dinos. It’ll remind you of trying to get out the door AND the Jurassic period. Perfect for the mom of any dinosaur-obsessed littles."
—Ridgeway Burns, assistant director at Hinsdale Public Library
"For anyone who has ever tried to help an uncooperative young child get dressed—help is on the way! How to Dress a Dinosaur by Robin Currie and Alycia Pace is a creative way to actively engage children in getting dressed by acting like a dinosaur. Getting children ready for school or daycare can be a frustrating contact sport! (I know; I have a two-year-old grandchild!) This book makes that process more of an entertaining game using active imagination. Spoiler alert: This book is not only fun and instructional, it is educational too! Children will learn the names of ten different dinosaurs and what they look like on their way to getting dressed, brushing their teeth, and hopping into their car seat to start their day! It is a ROARING good time!"
—Diane Hessinger, director of children’s ministries at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church and former preschool director and educator
