I did like Dilly and it was funny at the end when the character was on a skateboard covered in chocolate.

Was funny as he was funny for just one day.

Dilly wasn’t a very well behaved dinosaur. I wish he could try a bit harder when it’s not his daddy’s birthday.
Senorita Daffodil Bonsai 04.08.2022

I liked it because Dilly promised he’d be good for their whole day and his parents didn’t think he could be but he was! My favourite character is Dilly because he’s cheeky and fun. It was his dads birthday and Dilly got him a card promising to be good. I would recommend this book and have another Dilly book to read.

Dilly could do it!
Mademoiselle Tulip Pawprint 09.08.2021

It was nice and a bit boring. Dilly was good for one day so I was happy. I liked dilly because he was a bit naughty but he became nice. I would definitely recommend this book to people who like reading picture books.

I thought it was funny, especially when Dilly went crash, bang, tinkle at the end.

I didn't find the book very exciting and it was a bit boring. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone else.
