 * Comment, warning! 1st bit is humorous:)) you've got to be kidding!!! this is a book with dinosaurs ... with goooogly eyes, of course its notable!! .. now, now coola, oh sorry, back to reality ... this is a popular children's board book, WorldCat lists a number of editions held by around 560 libraries throughout the world including the US, Uk, Oztralia, and New Zealand and libraries use it in summer reading programs ie. North Kenner library, Louisiana, it won the 1997 Colorado Children's Book Award (see here) and a 1998 Colorado Children's Choice Award page 46 of the pdf file under Colorado: Colorado Children’s Book Award (picture book and junior novel categories), - is a US state book award "a major literary award" (point no. 2 of WP:NBOOK)?, a Dr. Toy Award Winner (according to numerous bookseller sites, have been unable to confirm on Dr. Toy's site here that only goes back a few years for non-member access); in the previous afd (that was a resounding keep, with no "deletes") a number of reviews were listed (not all still work, with my little lappie anyway:)) ie. Grand Junction Daily Sentinel here, Rocky Mountain News here, Norridge News here, all previous need subscriptions to read them but do we use WP:FAITH here and how much weight can be given to local/state news sources?; trawling thru the 1st 10 pages of a gsearch ("ten little dinosaurs by pattie schnetzler book reviews"), found mostly bookseller sites, blogs etc, only ones that might remotely look promising: a well set out review, looks like made by a library/education/literature student?, 1,000 Books Before Kindegarten - an initiative of the Marathon County Public Library that lists the book amongst around 210 others (amazing how many of these i have in my hoard ahem collection and how many have wikiarticles but not all hmmmm:)), Dinosaur Unit - a Spokane, Washington preschool teaching/fun session that lists this book as one of the key books to be used, have been unable to find anything else, this is all i have found (but still pretty good for a preschool book that was 1st published in 1996, it would be good if we could get some input from early learning editors who may be able to confirm if this book is used in university teaching courses and/or appears in books about toddler books, if editors don't deem this to be notable for a standalone, maybe this could be a redirect to the illustrator (until an author page is made:)).
