Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreS—Freedman and Cort offer another homage to underpants. Cartoons in bright colors and patterns pep up the rhymed tale that explains the demise of dinosaurs. According to Freedman, "When T. rex saw man's undies,/He roared with deafening rants./I don't want to eat you up./I want your underpants." All dinosaurs follow the obsessive fad, escalating to a manic dino tug-of-war that wipes out every order, saving mankind. Despite the skimpy plot, preschoolers will giggle as itchy or tight briefs annoy Stegosaurus or Diplodocus, while theft victim cavemen shyly cover up with huge leaves or the few remaining pairs of underwear.—Gay Lynn Van Vleck, Henrico County Library, Glen Allen, VA

From Booklist

As long as you can suspend all sense of evolution, literature, and good taste and are of a single-digit age, you’ll crack up with hysterics at this theory of dinosaur extinction from the creators of Aliens Love Underpants (2007). According to the story, cavemen began to feel “embarrassed in the nude,” and so they “dreamed up underpants,” which the dinos coveted and copied, creating a mass frenzy that escalated into a Mighty Underpants War and the end of the giant beasts. Once again, the rhyming text and illustrations turn this into a comic delight. Preschool-Grade 2. --Andrew Medlar

My dinosaur loving son enjoys this book. It's cute, but you may have to explain to your kid that all the dinosaurs or either sleeping or dead at the end of the book. If you're sensitive and offended by dinosaurs going to war over stealing caveman under pants you probably won't like it. If your kids likes dinosaurs and underpants or the concept of dinosaurs in underpants they'll enjoy it.

Dinosaurs were all wiped out over undies. Haha

Ok, this book is hilarious. My 3 and 1 year old nieces love this book. On the first page it says this book solves the mystery of why dinosaurs were wiped out. We tease that this book solves it all and they love when t-Rex wants to steal the cavemen’s undies.

This is perfect for the toddler in your life who is starting out in the potty training circuit or who loves dinosaurs. It’s really cute and a fan fave with my girls.

I bought this book with intentions of helping to potty train. Even though it wasn’t quite a hit for the intention.. my 3 year old fell in love with it and has the book memorized. Still reading it at age 4 😄
