Escrito por Jane Yolen
Illustrado por Mark Teague
Scholastic, 2001.  Spanish Picture Book.

¿Cómo da las buenas noches
un dinosaurio a papá
cuando va a apagar la luz
porque hay que descansar?
¿Quizás haga pucheros
y pegue con la cola
golpes en el suelo?

En cada una de las páginas de este libro, los padres están listos para acostar a los niños a dormir. ¿A los niños? Cada uno de los chiquitines de este libro es ¡un dinosaurio! Pero a pesar de ello, los dinosaurios son muy parecidos a los humanos: a la hora de dormir dan un gran beso, apagan la luz y dicen "buenas noches.”  --Publisher
