Publication history

Reception

A star review in Kirkus Reviews of I'm a Dirty Dinosaur wrote "It is nearly impossible to look at without reading aloud, chanting aloud, and even tapping and stamping and sliding: extreme joyousness."[1] Publishers Weekly wrote "Brian’s narrative lends itself to reading aloud, and it invites both chiming in and imitating the dinosaur’s movements (preferably sans mud)."[2]

I'm a Dirty Dinosaur has also been reviewed by School Library Journal,[3] Reading Time,[4] Magpies,[5] and Scan: The Journal For Educators.[6]

It won a 2014 Speech Pathology of Australia Award,[7] and is a 2014 CBCA Book of the Year: Early Childhood honour book,[8] with the judges noting its "sharp, lilting language to convey the light-hearted, fun filled celebration of guilt free playing in the mud." and " the illustrator’s seemingly effortless outline drawings, ..".[9]

There is a sculpture of the little dinosaur at the Storybook Walk, Thalassa Park, Onkaparina, South Australia.[10]
