"[A] standout title pulling double duty as a compelling graphic novel and a poetry mentor textElementary school readers and their teachers will delight in this laugh-out-loud narrative lesson on poetry writing, or even pick it up just for fun." * School Library Journal *
"Budding poets in our own Cenozoic era will also find these simple prehistoric precepts and exercises helpful first steps. A solid bit of instruction, delivered amid much Triassic tomfoolery." * Kirkus Reviews *
"Angleberger...adds humor and silliness to the dialogue, which keeps this poetry lesson from becoming too schoolish. Boldly outlined cartoon dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures...are simple yet dynamic...The first in a new series of graphic novels for young readers, this is sure to spark literary creativity along with lots of laughs."
* Booklist *
"Humor and action are both plentiful...Some complex vocabulary, especially dinosaur names, makes this a good choice for those gaining independence in reading, with rhyme and repetition to help them along. Poetic edification with a side of adrenaline rushes—though some of the dangers, much like poetry, may not be as scary as they seem." * Horn Book Magazine *
