Her latest board book is all about dinosaurs. Readers are immediately told the dinosaur dance is beginning on the opening page. Each spread that follows involves rhyming couplets about dancing dinosaurs. Proper names, such as triceratops, velociraptor, and iguanodon, are used to identify each unique dinosaur. Movement possibilities are endless with the text, and this will be a great addition to storytime shelves.” * School Library Journal *“As her fans know, Boynton has a sly wit that respects the intelligence of her young fans and amuses the adults asked to ‘read it again.’ In this book she introduces nine dinosaurs, each of which dances in a way that seems totally appropriate for that particular species… This will have readers putting on their dancing shoes to do the ‘cha cha cha’ with their dino-babies.” * Kirkus Reviews *
