First of all, the illustrations are wonderful.  Brightly colored and halfway between cartoons and traditional children’s book illustrations, they may be the best part of this book and certainly help bring the story to life.  Kids will love them.The story is charming and both educational and fun for kids. It is imaginative and will surely hold young readers’ interest.  It is the story of the inmates of the Freaky Alien Zoo, all dinosaurs, who decide they want to live in the world again.  The group (a rapping raptor, a disco-dancing t-rex, a singing stegosaurus, a pterodactyl and a tiny dinosaur named Dino Kazoo) embark on an adventure that has them escaping from the UFO they came from and re-acquainting themselves with the earth. The rhyming narration is reminiscent of Dr. Seuss and will help young readers get into the story. This is a really charming book and would make a great gift for any child who is lover of dinosaurs or who you would like to start educating about dinosaurs. It contains lessons about working together, friendship and never giving up that children and the adults in their lives will love.
