Like all of Sandra Boynton's books, Dinosaur's Binkit is great fun to read aloud. It is a nice, soothing bedtime story with great illustrations and very amusing text. Young children will particularly enjoy the inter-active elements - pop ups, multi-media art - they give kids a real chance to participate in the story.
On the very first page of this book, Dinosaur's agitation is evident as kids can find out that his binkit is missing. It's easy to feel for the little dinosaur, since his emotion is so visible. The story of Dinosaur's Binkit is similar to that of an earlier book, Bunny Blue, but the storytelling is much simpler, so this is a quicker read and can hold a younger child's attention. The soft portions of the book are nice for little hands to feel.
This book is a great combination of an "activity" book and a bedtime book. The lift-the-flap pages and the "touch-and-feel" pages are cute and fun. The flaps are creative - not the run of the mill predictable stuff under the flap. The rhythm of the story is calming and takes well to a quiet soothing voice, which makes this a "real" bedtime book. This one has just the right balance of fun and calm.

Listen! Look! Touch! Giggle!
Good night, Dinosaur.
Good night, Binkit.
Sandra Boynton turns on the charm again in this story about a cuddly dinosaur who refuses to go to bed until he (or she) has the right comfort object. A reflective silvery moon, some pull-out flaps, and a liftable bedspread with a reluctant hero hiding beneath it offer the very small reader a way into the story. The "Binkit" itself, a piece of soft yellow felt, can be stroked for reassurance. Reluctant bedtimers from one to three will enjoy this introduction to the idea of a bedtime routine that ends with comfort, closed eyes, and peace.

Poor Dinosaur. It's time for bed, but he cannot find his binkit, and we all know what that’s like. On every page, he's told to get ready for bed, for he's single-mindedly looking for that binkit, and so are we. There are flaps to lift, paper doors to open... but no binkit. Of course, in the end, not only does Dinosaur find his beloved comfort object, but we get to know what it feels like, in the Pat the Bunny mode. It feels soft and comfy, just right for bedtime. My only tiny objection to this fabulous Boynton creation is that the paper flaps can be difficult for tiny fingers to open, and can also be torn easily. But even if they fall all the way off, the book remains irresistible. |

My 16 month old loves dinosaurs and we've been trying to introduce him to Sandra Boynton. So when we found this book at the library we checked it out - again and again and again... Our son loves this book so much he now requests it and all his other Sandra Boynton books several times a day. And what isn't to like about a dinosaur who has lost his love? Even better my husband discovered that the text can easily be sung to the tune of "O, Christmas Tree." Now we cannot read the book. We must sing it instead. We too, have found the flaps slightly fragile, but no more fragile than flaps on any other pop-up type book. We just have to tell our son to be gentle and respect books. Some days it works and some days it doesn't. I think that's just parenthood and childhood. |

Another wonderful book from Sandra Boynton. My 23 month old just received this book and loves it. She likes the touch and feel aspect and also the lift the flaps. My daughter is extremely attached to her blanket, so I thought she would relate to this book. Every night before bed, we have to search for blanket, just like the dinosaur does in the book. Dinosaur is told to go to bed, but all he wants is his "binkit". Of course in the end he finds his "binkit" and goes to bed. A good interactive book for your little one. A nice soothing book before bedtime. Great illustrations as always. |

My eighteen month old son absolutely loves this book. He is allowed to choose two books for bedtime and he always picks this book. I am such a big fan of Sandra Boynton and this book lives up to all of our expectations. My son loves to lift the flaps. Great book. |
