- Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2024There are many Danny and the Dinosaur books but this is a great collection to start off with!
I read these books as a child and it’s been so much fun watching my 4 year old niece fall in love with these characters, too.
The stories are charming and definitely get the readers imagination flowing. Danny and the Dinosaur are great friends and it’s a joy to read about their adventures.
The box is very sturdy with strong Velcro and a handle - I think it will stand the test of time.
I nightly recommend this product!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2024This boxed set helped bridge now to back when my son was just a toddler. He wanted me to read Danny and the Dinosaur every night. It was his favorite. Plan to read these to my grandchildren someday.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2024My nephew really enjoys reading his book!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2024I was happy. This classic book was still available. I remember it from my childhood and immediately thought my nephew would like it since he loves all things featuring dinosaurs.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2024My grandson, who’s 6, loves these. Anything with dinosaurs and he’s all about it. He likes to read these in bed at “lights out” with his flash light. He thinks he’s getting away with something, but we see nothing wrong with a boy who loves to read himself to sleep.

5.0 out of 5 stars Geniales!
Es una colección estupenda de las aventuras de Danny y su donosaurio. En el mismo pack hay varios niveles ya que algunos libros son más largos. Si le gustan los dinosaurios, esto es perfecto!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great reading package at unbeatable price!
This is a brilliant collection of 5 books from the Danny and the Dinosaur series by the famous children’s author Syd Hoff.
The first book is of 64 pages, rest all are of 32 pages each.
Each book contains one story, except for the first book which has four stories weaved in one!
They are written in simple English for beginner-to-medium level readers.
The pictures and stories are interesting and engaging for the kids.
I bought this for around Rs. 275 and I couldn’t feel luckier for my kid who has read other books from this series.
The paper quality of the books is also great.
I have shared my detailed review of this whole reading package along with the inside photos from each of the books on my YouTube channel- Booked with V.
This is one collection I would highly recommend for encouraging kids to read on their own.
