This story has 3 chapters, so readers have very clear story breaks. The chapters increased the understanding of the students. The pictures help the children figure out what the story is about. The humour is a bit advanced for the kids, but the pictures make them laugh. The book is fun for adults to read because of the humor.

This book is a great very first chapter book for children. In each chapter, the main character, Detective Dinosaur, solves a mystery. The mysteries are often silly, but they are always fun to read. For example, in one chapter, Detective Dinosaur is looking for his hat, and it turns out it has been on his head all along! In another, he goes to see the doctor because he is sick, but the doctor is not anywhere to be found. So that is the mystery. It turns out that the doctor is home in bed because he is sick too! My son, 5, read this book to me (a chapter a night) and laughed out loud at least once per chapter. This book is good, clean fun and perfect for K-2 readers.

My 4 year old son insists that I read Detective Dinosaur to him over and over. He picks out new words each time we read the story. We practice using different accents (Bogart, Karloff) to make the characters come alive. Sometimes, we have to read the book a few times (and there are three stories) before he drifts off to sleep, but its worth it to find a book that a boy loves.
