A cute book all about being itchy. I really liked the illustrations in this one. Each dinosaur is itchy for a different reason as shown in the pictures (tag on shirt, sunburn, bee sting, etc.). I enjoyed the detail in the illustrations. And they are hilarious so there is that. Overall, the story was cute, although I was expecting the full message to make a little bit more sense after such a huge buildup. Based on the positioning of the sleeping turtle, it was clear there was more to the message than just, “Dinosaurs do not scratch”, but the reveal was a bit of a letdown. Plus, I don’t know why anyone would carve that message on a rock in the first place. I guess there is a vague lesson about friendship and helping each other out in there somewhere. Regardless, it was entertaining. Anyway, it was a cute book with really book illustrations. Funny and engaging.
