Annotation:
Popular cartoonist and children's author Sandra Boynton's little dinosaur can't get to bed without a soft yellow blanket in this little touch-and-feel book. Roaming everywhere in a mopey fashion, the little creature won't brush its teeth or get ready for bed until the binkit is found. With cheery illustrations, flaps, and a foil moon. Boynton is the author of THE GOING TO BED BOOK, BUT NOT THE HIPPOPOTAMUS, and PHILADELPHIA CHICKENS.

Praise
Publishers Weekly
Boynton's (Snoozers) signature style showcases a restless baby dinosaur who can't go to bed without his (or her) security blanket in this charming large-trim board book. Her rhyming text cajoles the little creature to settle down: "Dinosaur O Dinosaur,/ you fuss and fret and yawn./ It's time to brush your dino teeth/ and put your p.j.'s on." A silver foil moon, red felt blanket and yellow felt "binkit" (no ordinary blanket, that) are among the touchable elements: in one of the most amusing flaps, the wail "I NEED MY BINKIT!" is emblazoned across the inside of Dinosaur's big, pink, tooth-lined mouth. The book is cute without being cloying, thanks to the authorial voice, which softens from stern to sympathetic, and the dino's comic desperation. This light, witty treatment of the eternal subjects of the "blanky" and the bedtime tantrum will make a welcome addition to the bedside bookshelf. And with its felt inserts, it's a book kids can really cozy up to. Ages 3 mos.-5 yrs. (Sept.) 8/24/98 Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"The board-book set will be delighted with Boynton's menu of tactile treats--from the slick mylar crescent moon, to the eminently strokable bits of nappy fabric securely embedded in the heavy stock." - Elizabeth Bush December 1998
