My nephew and I were looking for a good dinosaur book to read on my Kindle the other day and happened across this.  We were immediately drawn in by the fun illustrations (pun intended, lol).  He is 7 and just loves dinosaurs and tries to do a bit of freestyle rapping every now and then.  You can imagine his delight when this story was about hip hop dinos.Many of the kid’s shows and books that try to be “cool,” fail.  Either they are trying way too hard to be cool and lack substance, or they are trying too hard have substance and come across as your grandpa wearing a velour tracksuit and trying to bust a rhyme.  This little book seems to strike a balance in that the dinos are a lot of fun to read about and in the end we learn that everyone has a part to play, but we aren't beat over the head with it.  The illustrations are a good fit for the tone of the book, it is just meant to be a fun adventure.  The lesson learned isn't so heavy that it drags down the story.  All in all it is a hit at my house.
