Sandra Boynton is a popular American cartoonist, children's author, songwriter, producer, and director. Since 1974, Boynton has written and illustrated over eighty-five children's books and seven general audience books, including five New York Times bestsellers. More than 90 million of her books have been sold, "mostly to friends and family," she says. She has also written (with Michael Ford) and produced seven albums of renegade children's music. Three of her seven albums have been certified Gold (over 500,000 copies sold) and Philadelphia Chickens, nominated for a Grammy, has been certified Platinum (over 1 million copies sold). Boynton has also directed many music videos of her songs, including the award-winning "One Shoe Blues" starring B.B. King, "Alligator Stroll" starring Josh Turner, and "Tyrannosaurus Funk" (animated) sung by Samuel L. Jackson. She lives in rural New England, and her studio is in a barn with perhaps the only hippopotamus weathervane in America.

This review is for the original, board book edition:

"As her fans know, Boynton has a sly wit that respects the intelligence of her young fans and amuses the adults asked to 'read it again.' In this book she introduces nine dinosaurs, each of which dances in a way that seems totally appropriate for that particular species... This will have readers putting on their dancing shoes to do the 'cha cha cha' with their dino-babies."-- "Kirkus Reviews"
