About the Book
When a child in a museum asks how dinosaurs became extinct, Dad comes up with a list of silly answers.Book Synopsis
From author Ame Dyckman and illustrator Jenn Harney comes a hilarious faux-cautionary tale featuring dad jokes and tantrum-throwing dinosaurs! In this outrageous "safety guide," a child in a museum asks their parents how the dinosaurs all became extinct. Well, their father has some theories. Gallimimus? Ran with scissors. Ankylosaurus? Tipped in their chair. Spinosaurus? Swam after eating. Tyrannosaurus rex? Didn't change their underwear. By the end of the story, the child vows to never do any of these "dangerous" things again. Those dinosaurs should have been more careful! This off-the-wall picture book written by New York Times bestselling author Ame Dyckman with uproarious illustrations by Jenn Harney will have kids laughing out loud as they see dinosaurs getting into some all-too-familiar hijinks.About the Author

This book is funny! My Dino loving 3 year old was cracking up and kept saying how the things the dinosaurs were doing weren’t safe. It’s a cute way to remind kids to not do things like: run with scissors, or tip back in your chair, or play with matches. Yes, there is one where the stegosaurus poked its own leg off, but it’s not bloody or gross at all. I’m glad I got this book for his Easter Basket. I know it’ll be a repeat read at bedtime for us. It’s silly!!

This book is not intended for toddlers or anyone who is sensitive to death. This book has a graphic image of a dinosaur with its leg cut off, and another dinosaur running with scissor. The description said that it was supposed to be funny, but it’s more morbid than funny.
