How do you find a missing dinosaur who’s large and green and likes to roar? When a little boy’s dinosaur decides to play hide-and-seek, he is surprisingly difficult to track down. Veteran illustrator Joe Mathieu’s dinomite illustrations and Jon Surgal’ s saur-ing verse will have kids roaring with laughter as they romp through this funny rhyming Beginner Book.

Originally created by Dr. Seuss, Beginner Books encourage children to read all by themselves, with simple words and illustrations that give clues to their meaning.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-Grade 2—This entertaining Seuss-style story will have dinosaur enthusiasts clamoring for more. Charming cartoon illustrations provide an amusing complement to the rhyming text. A boy looks around his home and travels around his community in search of his large, green "he likes to roar" dinosaur. The frontispiece shows a silhouette of the boy with the dinosaur tiptoeing behind him; it will get readers hooked from the start. Even the title page contributes to the story. A great hide-and-seek adventure for beginning readers.—Melissa Smith, Green Valley Library, Henderson, NV

Really Enjoy This One

Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2016

This book is very cute. I would have to say that my son enjoys this book far more than I, but I do like...just not every night like my son requests. He is 3 and thinks it is hilarious that he can find the dinosaur on each page. The pictures are really great and I enjoy the rhyming throughout the book. It is a good length for my 3 year old and my 5 year old likes this book as well. I would be interested in seeing what other books this author has out there. It is the perfect size for reading in my opinion, not too big to hold with one hand and is not really small. It has a hard cover that has been very durable thus far. I would highly recommend this book.

Both my 2 yr. old grandaughter and 4 yr old grandson loved the book. They were fascinated with the fact that THEY could see the missing dinosaur and all the people in the book couldn't. When I read the book aloud for the first time to by grandson, I wondered if he would answer the author's question "Will ask you?" Imediately he answered. I have read and reread the story and every time it's great. Enjoyable for kids and adults.

Cute book with good rhyming and flow - fun reading

Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2021

Verified Purchase

This is a very good Dr. Seuss book. The quality of the book is fine, with a decent hard cover, and typical pages in this tour of book, so don’t be too rough on the pages. The book itself isn’t large, but is a standard size book for the Dr. Seuss books that you buy now - not very large, just bigger than a decent sized board book, but just fine for reading to your children.

This design of the story is good because the book has some cute pictures that are really creative. I like them a lot as they really bring the words to life. The rhymes don’t seem forced which is nice as well (sometimes I feel like they can be in these types of Dr. Seuss books), so the book has a really good reading cadence to entertain. It is silly fun.

This book has a lot of positive things going for it. I really like it and think that if you like reading books that rhyme, you can’t go wrong with this one. It is a hidden gem that I’m glad I randomly found. Very entertaining.

This is a brilliantly written story. I have bought it for my grandson for Christmas but have already read it myself. Fabulous!

Not an easy read for the young reader

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 14, 2018

Very American with some very strange words for a new reader. Although my 6yr old grandson loves dinosaurs and reads quite well, the strange words in the book put him off reading it.
