Customer Reviews

My son's two favorite things in one book!

We brought this book home from the library and my son just loves this book! We have added it to our gift wishlist! What a wonderful adventure, well-written and perfectly illustrated! This combines my 4-year-old son's two loves at the moment--pirates and dinosaurs! It's fun to read, too!

10 Stars out of 5--Great Fun

This book is SO much fun to read for mommy (or daddy or older sibling) and SO much fun to be read to from for the li'l ones (especially preschool boys, but my toddler daughter loves it, too.) What educational value does it have? A lot! It teaches kids that books can be FUN! It also gives a great example of a little ones imagination as the whole adventure with the Pirate Dinos happens in young Flint's mind. "Yo, Ho ho! Yo, Ho ho! PIRATE DINOSAURS, GO, GO, GOOOOOO!" (Heard around my house all the time now.)

Wonderful story for little boys

I've probably read this story to my little brother ten times since we brought it home from the library. It is a very cute story and little ones will love singing the pirate dinosaur song.

Captain Flinn and the Pirate Dinosaurs

My 5 year old son absolutely loves this book! It combines his two favorite things--pirates and dinosaurs, of course. If he had his way, we would read it every night before bedtime.

Fun and exciting book

This book was a great hit at my child's classroom "guest reader" day. The story was fun and imaginative, with pirates, dinosaurs, classrooms and students. The illustrations were wonderful, great color for holding up in circle time, but also detailed, so children could study the pages and play i-spy with them. This book engaged 5 and 6 year olds, boys and girls, and I highly recommend it.
