Dino-Football (Dino-Sports)

I stumbled upon Lisa Wheeler's Dino-sports books at our local library. My five year old's interest are pretty specific, he likes dinosaurs and dangerous creatures. So, I have to scour the library to find anything that fits the bill. We first read Dino-Baseball and Dino-Soccer. He loved them so much I bought Dino-Hockey on Amazon as a surprise. I got Dino-Soccer too. Dino-Football was released in August this year and I did a pre-order for it. Jack has made me read these for OVER a week now exclusively at bedtime. I beg and plead for him to pick something else out..anything. He just laughs! On top of the awesome writing the illustrations are hilarious. Wheeler and Gott are a DYNAMITE team. Can't wait to read the next installment and I'm buying my son Dino-Basketball and Dino-Baseball to finish up his collection.

This was a gift for my dinosaur-loving nephew, who pretty much requires that fictional stories about dinosaurs also include the scientific names. You end up with a kind of limited field of choices, but I'd seen these at the library. Football is the big local sport here, so that element and the dinosaurs were a good combination. The actual story/text is a little more simple than I'd like to see (compared to Jane Yolen-- but he has all her books), but he's happy and reading.

My son absolutely loves these books! They hook with you a lead into the next book at the end making my son always wanting more but they're so great that I don't mind!

We have been reading Dino-Sports (and soon to be Sports Entertainment) books since Dino-Hockey came out. We have them all and they are always a hit with both my boys who are 6 and 2. They opened Dino-Football at Valentine's Day and they were really excited about it. They were both eager to see what the next sport would be coming up on the last page. They were not disappointed.I don't know why I didn't think to write books about dinosaurs playing sports. It seems so obvious... a recipe for success. Lisa and Barry did another great job. We're looking forward to the next in the series. It should be a fun one.

My 6 year old loved it!!! He liked the red team and also loves dinosaurs so he loved it!! Yayyyy

Love this series, but the local library didn't have the football one. My son absolutely LOVES this book. They are so fun to read!

This is a great series! My son is really into sports and learning about the game. Since he is so young these books are a perfect introduction to the rules of the game. Sports plus dinosaurs, what more could a young boy want.

I really like this serious of books, my kids will grab them all and I will have to read each one as they lead into the next. My youngest son is into dinosaurs so this series is perfect for him. I like that they rhyme and the creative nature of the stories. I would recommend this book (and the others) to anyone who has kids who like dinosaurs.

Great Christmas present for my nephiew who is 10 years old I am sure he will be very happy with it

My 4 year old son LOVES these books as they combine his two favourite things – Dinos and Sports. We have every book in this series and he recites them from memory as we pretend to be dinos playing the sport of the day. It’s Meat against Veggies all the time in our house. The books have a nice rhyming flow and cleverly end with a preview to what sport is coming next. We were eagerly waiting for Dino-Football to be written. The illustrations are excellent too – they fill the pages with colourful sports scenes displaying the tension of the game.

Great kids book, they loved it

Great book

Perfect!!
