Publisher's Summary:
All pterodactyls know that flying dinosaurs are superior, and all apatosauruses know that any dinosaur with only two legs is surely second-class. Nosy, a pterodactyl, and Banty, an apatosaurus, become great friends even though their parents have forbidden them to play together. With Nosys fast flying and Bantys smarts, the two take on the biggest predator on the Great Plain, and conquer their parents prejudices in one great adventure.
Critic Reviews:

A fun book! My three year old daughter loved having my husband read it to her!
Perfect for kids that love dinosaurs!
My husband and I read this book aloud to our 4 year old. My husband and I didn't particularly like the story, but our dinosaur obsessed son loved it! I liked that it exposed him to a ton of new words and it held his attention.
Great book for my little one
My son, age 4, loves this book. We've read it together twice already. The dialogue is very funny, and the plot has enough twists and turns to keep the pages turning. He didn't find it too scary and really loved how the little dinosaurs used their brains to overcome the T. Rex. He also loved picking up the long words.
Poorly written, gross, juvenile
This book is awful. In this book the mom dinosaurs are brilliant and skillful and the dad dinosaurs are lazy fools. The moms are constantly making up for the dad's inability to understand the situation.
The book is gross. It lingers over descriptions of dinosaurs eating flies off dead dinosaur carcasses. The dinosaurs hang upside down and poop, and the poop narrowly misses their heads. Poop comes up again and again.
The villain, a T Rex, eats baby dinosaurs, a fact the author apparently finds fascinating: "I wonder what wretched animal will die today to feed its digusting appetite."
The story is fatuous and predictable. It's juvenile,and not in a good way. I had to stop reading it to my six year old halfway through. Do not buy.
Not for young kids
Most of the other reviewers have covered the primary shortcomings of the book already, but I wanted to add that the overall tone is just not fun. The parents frequently make narrative asides in which they cast scorn on their mates; readers are often (often!) reminded that the T-Rex loves to eat baby dinosaurs; and the two toddler dinosaurs end up killing the T-rex in the end in a way that just isn't fun to read to young children.
Our son is not squeamish; we watch grown-up nature shows and dinosaur shows frequently. For this story, the gore and human sniping placed in the context of characters that talk and express feelings is a bit much.
