Title: NOT Dr. Seuss
Review: Read this book if you want to truly appreciate the brilliance of Theodore Geisel, because that is what is missing (somewhat grotesquely) here.The rhymes are forced and unimaginative. The meters are crude and regularly just don't work. The "whimsy" is unappealing, to say the least. The drawings are serviceable, but reduce Seuss's images to blank types without much imagination. (And just who is using military imagery -- a pop-gun tank -- in a post-Butter-Battle world?)I give it two stars just because my kids enjoy reading about dinosaurs, though I steer them back to the real Seuss (which they do genuinely enjoy more -- albeit maybe because I enjoy them more) whenever possible.
