  With a cute story and wonderful illustrations it is a great book. It was a huge hit in this house. Who doesn't love dinosaurs?

  This was an amusing tale featuring a very disruptive Tyrannosaurus attempting to eat dining dinosaurs at a dinosaur café. Terry Triceratops and his pals save the day - with tickles! I loved the illustrations as much as the tale; just goes to show that bullying's not cool and that you can stand up to bullying (although tickling is probably not recommended for actual bullies!). Very cute! Perfect for dino loving kids (and dino loving adults like me.)

  Richard Armitage read The Trouble at the Dinosaur Cafe. Lovely read.
  
  The dinosaurs are having a good time at the cafe but the bully Rex comes in. Luckily, Rex is defeated with tickles.

  Moral of the story: Always have Terry Triceratops on speed dial.
  (Brilliantly read by Richard Armitage for CBeebies.)

  Trouble at the Dinosaur Cafe was a cute and quick fun book to read. a bunch of herbivores are sitting at the cafe minding their own business when in walks mean bullying Tyrannosaurus Rex. He threatens to eat them all because he doesn't like what they're eating and meat is the best thing around. One of the waitresses dinosaurs called a Triceratops for help and he comes down and set the Tyrannosaurus Rex straight saying that they are not food and his ways will not be tolerated; he promptly vacates area.

  I think this one might work a little better with an older child. My daughter enjoys dinosaurs, but I think this may be aimed more at boys than at girls. It seems as if the lesson is a good one... though I'm not sure how I feel about the delivery. "Don't be a bully" is a good lesson, but... "if you're a bully other people will hold you down and tickle you"? I'm not sure I approve of the gang-bang mentality.
  
  It's going back to the library.

  I borrowed this from the library this week because I thought my two boys would like it. They did. They've been wanting me to read it rather frequently. It is a pretty simplistic story, written in a poetic format. My kids like it so that is what counts so long as the message is appropriate for their age and it is.

  This is a humorous tale that introduces a hungry T-Rex into a tranquil vegetarian café for dinosaurs. The rhyming narrative is fun to read aloud and the illustrations are colorful and cartoonish.
  
  This book is sure to appeal to dinosaur fans of all ages and the lesson of standing up to a bully is a good one to learn.

  Book Riot posted a story about celebrities reading children's stories and
  here Richard Armitage tells the tale. Very cute little picture book about how a group of dinosaurs take care of a bullying T-Rex at a cafe. It sounds like Armitage got a little of his vocal inspiration for Thorin here!

  When T-Rex comes stomping into the Dinosaur Cafe and the plant-eating dinosaurs start quaking in their boots. Luckily Terry Triceratops arrives to save the day. My storyhour kids were riveted by this book.

  A brilliant rhyming picture book about some herbivores in a cafe being disturbed by a T-Rex. The rhyme is excellent. The drama is great. And a great funny ending. Lovely bright illustrations too. Perfect!

  I like the way that my mom reads this book!
  I like looking at the pictures of the restaurant that are in the front and back of the book. In the front of the book, it's neat and clean. In the back of the book it's dirty. It's dirty because dinosaurs were fighting.

  I think the main thing I dislike about this book is the story. The T-Rex models such terrible behavior and my son is scandalized. LOL. However, he does love dinosaurs so he still likes to look at the pictures. I just don't read him the story itself.

  T-Rex trying to eat other dinosaurs isn't the best storytime book.

  This is a great book for kids, my 3 year old loves it! The illustrations are great and the adventures of the dinosaurs are entertaining.

  I don't think Terry Triceratops's hat fits him properly. I'm not sure how it stays on his head.
  
  The Dinosaur Cafe has got to be a physically huge building.

  Both my daughter and I enjoyed the illustrations and the wording was very simple. It was enjoyable though. I would recommend this for younger children or kids who enjoy dinosaurs.
