Reviews

"Wheeler and Gott already proved they have a winning formula with Dino-Hockey (2007) and Dino-Soccer (2009), and there's plenty for dinosaur/sports fanatics to enjoy in this latest installment . . . Gott nails the drama of high-stakes game with a series of skewed perspectives and never overplays the comedy--his dinosaurs, with their imposing heft and improbably balletic grace, are more than capable of conveying the sublime absurdity of it all."

"Wheeler includes on-the-field plays as well as typical baseball-crowd fun like a manager's tantrum, a seventh-inning stretch, and a visit to the snack bar. Gott's illustrations are masterful at catching the leaping, running action of the battling behemoths and giving each spread a stop-action, 'you are there' feel. . . Libraries looking to satisfy dinosaur lovers as well as sports enthusiasts will find this title an easy sell."

"[T]he play-by-play action in the acrylic paintings and the rhyming text ("Green Sox need to change the score. / Their only hope? Apatosaur!") will captivate young baseball fans, while the humor in each incongruous scene will widen the book's audience to sports-ambivalent kids."
