I read this with my 4-year-old son who has some temper issues. He loved it! Not only did this book talk about impatience, but the feelings associated with that. The images were vibrant and help ym son's attention. A great book for any young, impatient child.

Thank you to NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for an advance reader copy in exchange for an honest review.

This is an adorable little book, which is so integral and important for children to help with their own personal development at a very young age, whilst also telling a cute tale to go alongside.

Oh dear the difficulties we have being patient and learning to wait our turn or for a special event.
As we get older we learn the social norms and rules for turn taking or driving - The Highway Code.
For children time is compressed and now is the reality for them.

As Veruca Salt said: “I want it now.”

Sarah Read has produced a series of books addressing such issues and hard to pin down emotions. In The Impatient Dinosaur, Danny the little Dino finds situations were frustration gets the better of him as he has to side in line or the queue to do down. 

I again liked the simple words and bright engaging illustrations which enhance these stories. It is a good lesson to share and in highlighting special times like birthday surprises our pre-school children can see the benefit of waiting at times.

The railways learned that passengers were most angered by late trains in the not knowing aspect. When the announcer says the train is running late due to a points failure the wait is no less frustrating but can be processed and understood better. 

This is a skill children can only learn if we explain events better and show that waiting time can still be worthwhile and filled with positive activities.

These books are not the answer in themselves but can be the means for sharing difficult concepts and turning our conversations with our kids into fun.

This is a really cute and engaging story with a lesson on patience. I like that there is a rhyming structure, though some of the sentences did feel difficult to read. It was a fun and quick read, that captured my three and four year old's attention for the entirety of the story.

So I will say first that illustrations never loaded with this book.  The writing style was fun and rhymed, I appreciated that.  I liked that they showed that the boy dinosaur was getting impatient and that was what was making him feel angry.  However I felt that the parents only pacified that behavior.  They didn't address the feeling and try to help him work through it.  I would like to see them give examples of how he could have dealt with his feelings instead of throwing toys or surprises at the impatience.  Just my feelings.

An important topic for a kids book with the crowd favorite dinosaur as the main character — this book is a good reminder for kiddos to be patient.

This story was really cute and will probably help kids to feel seen when they feel like Danny the Dinosaur did. I didn't see any illustrations however, which I'll notify the publisher of as well.

This was a wonderful book for my impatient little boy!  I especially appreciated how the author points out that Danny is a good guy.  Too many times we look at certain character traits as if those traits make a child “bad.”  As I tell my kids, “you aren’t bad, but sometimes your decisions or behavior is bad.”

Excellent story book, a perfect emergent read that fosters discussion. I tried it out on my Grandson and he loved it. The rest of the day he was telling me how he felt just the like dino character. Perfect Christmas present for sure!

I cannot recommend this book because of its many flaws. See my GoodReads review here https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/3601586176

Another fantastic Sarah Read book! Myself and my children really enjoy this bright, colourful phonics based book! We enjoyed looking at the beautiful pictures as well as laughing and comparing the dinosaurs impatience to the children’s impatience. The kids loved how they could relate to the dinosaur but also understood the message put across that some things are worth waiting for.

I got this on Netgalley in exchange for an honest review!
This is a pretty nice picture-book! I like how it highlighted being patient because it can benefit yourself AND others around you. Really liked the example of the surprise party at the end!

This book is about an impatient dinosaur learning patience.  The story started out really good but the ending fell flat to me.  I do think this is a book my young daughters would enjoy but more could have been added to the end to help teach the lesson better.

This book was given to me an an ARC from the publisher through NetGalley in an exchange for an honest review. I was not compensated in any way.

This book had cute pictures and a good message for kids. I enjoyed the way the author described the emotions being felt and ways to cope with those emotions. This would be a good book to use for story time.

This was an adorable story about a Dino that wants what he wants when he wants it, like most little ones do. Mom and Dad do a great job trying to teach him to be patient in some everyday situations that all parents and littles experience. 
He is learning, but can he hold out as they tease with information about his “big” day? It was sweet to see how he tried to truly understand why he needed to be patient. 
I give this book 4 out 5 stars.

My son absolutely loves dinosaurs and this book was a perfect read for when he was being just a bit impatient. It lets him see himself but as a dinosaur and how his reactions may not be the best. While he enjoyed the book the message may have gotten a little lost in translation. But if we keep reading and discussing this it may help with giving him a bit more patience.

A great little book about patience and teaching our kiddos how to be patient through this sweet little dinosaur. Patience is one thing we all work on and this would be a good resource to help our littles through this life lesson.

"The Impatient Dinosaur" was the perfect book for my impatient preschooler!  The illustrations were cute and I love how this story taught about day to day frustrations and how to deal with them. I will be recommending this one to my friends who also have small children.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy in exchange for an honest review.

I picked up this book for my son, who is a little too young for the book at this time as he is only 11 months old but I know it will come in handy later when he is older. Just like Sarah Read's other book that I read, this book is also filled with colorful illustrations.

The Dinosaur in this book is very impatient an does not understand why he has to wait to checkout at the grocery store in a line or for a store to open or for a surprise gift. His Mom tries to explain to him why he has to wait but I feel like the explanations are very short and do not really explain the "why".

I also did not find that their were a lot of techniques that were given to help the Dinosaur cope with being impatient. The one technique that was given was to tell him something that would make him smile, which ultimately contributed to him being more impatient because he wanted to know what his surprise was.

Rating: 3 out 5 because I did not find all of the explanations that the Dinosaur's parents gave him as to why he had to wait very relatable and didn't find that their were any techniques to use to help with being impatient.

The Impatient Dinosaur is a tale about a young child dino who does not like to wait for anything.

Raising a now 4 yr old boy, patience is virtue we are learning daily at home. It's hard to wait, it's hard to entertain yourself, it's hard to be patient. So obviously, this book appealed to me. 

Firstly, I do not care for the illustrations. It's too cartoony rather than artistic, whimsical, realistic, or pretty. Secondly, the moral of the story fell short. The dino-child is ultimately taught that he will get a reward every time he is patient, rather than simply being taught to obey because it's the right and respectful thing to do. If a book is going to have such a heavy-handed moral message, it needs to actually be a good one. I much prefer a moral that is taught through a parable rather than spelled out so obviously and unimaginatively. 

Furthermore, it's written in forced, jumbling rhyme. It was not a pleasant read aloud.
