Praise for this book
"Children will enjoy the small museum warning signs, the droll humor, and most of all the surprise ending... Great for kids who like to tell their parents a thing or two about dinosaurs."
"Ayto's minimalist line drawings deliver laughs...[Middleton] does a fine job of channeling the fears--or fantasies--of young dinosaur fans."
"A comedic treat... The dialogue between father and son is delightfully conducive to a read-aloud, and Ayto's artwork adds rich, rib-tickling layers to the book's humor.... A highly entertaining selection that is sure to be a big hit."
"Young children going through the 'dinosaur phase' of enthusiasm for the Mesozoic and its reptiles will get a kick out of Julie Middleton's 'Are the Dinosaurs Dead, Dad?' with comic illustrations by Russell Ayto."
