Booklist - 07/01/2020 When the Dinotown's in trouble, you can count on the four Dinomights to thwart evil goings-on. Though they have wildly different tastes and style, the four Dinomighties—Teri-Dactyl, Bach, T-Lex, and Dave—share a mission to protect their precious town, which brings them together as dinosaur superheroes. Many years ago, they saved the precious, bejeweled Golden Egglettes and housed them in a secure castle. But when Teri-Dactyl gets an ominous email threatening their safety, the Dinomighties assemble to figure out a plan to keep the precious jewels safe and sound. But, if they take too long trying to figure out the plan, the Egglettes might be gone before they even arrive. With lively, bright artwork, cartoonish figures, and short chapters, this is great for beginning and newer readers. The bold, vivid color palette brings the dinos to roaring life while the easy-to-follow panels make navigating the plot a breeze, and the well-lettered speech balloons are easy to read. A great beginner's comic for dinosaur and mystery lovers alike. - Copyright 2020 Booklist.

School Library Journal - 11/01/2020 Gr 3–6—The Dinomighties are here to save the day. They're a crime-fighting group made up of three dinosaurs and a super-smart chicken. Levelheaded Teri-Dactyl, who loves working out and can fly, is the de facto leader. T-Lex is upbeat and sweet, even if her short arms make her bad at taking selfies. Dave is the tough triceratops who's always in search of his next slice of pizza…and then there's Bach, who serves as the team's problem-solver, even if he can only say "Bok!" When Teri gets a dmail (short for dino-mail) letting them know that trouble is afoot, the Dinomighties figure out that the precious golden egglettes are at risk. Diplodocus and Diplodoofus, dinos who are more foolish than evil, want to climb the ranks of dino-villainy and gain untold riches by swiping the egglettes from Cosmos Castle. What follows is a madcap race to the treasure, and even if it doesn't always make sense, the situations are wacky enough to engage readers and keep them laughing. The Dinomighties encounter cave monsters, an erupting volcano, and Cosmos, the ancient velociraptor owner of the castle. A funny running gag is that Cosmos Castle is easily accessible due to National Security Guard Week, so the guards are all enjoying some time off. Blecha's boisterous artwork adds to the humor. VERDICT This absurd team-up tale is chaotic in the best way. Recommended for kids looking to branch out from Dav Pilkey's "Dog Man" series.—Gretchen Hardin, Bee Cave P.L., TX - Copyright 2020 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
