Trade Review
Even the youngest of children are fascinated by dinosaurs, and this clever, vivid picture book uses funny poems to introduce simple facts about these extinct creatures. -- Sally Morris * Daily Mail *
With lively performative text in free verse and colourful, expressive graphic illustrations, this is a book for anyone who is keen to enjoy the facts and the drama of dinosaurs without pretending you could have one as a pet. -- Nicolette Jones * Sunday Times *
This fun and inventive collection of thirty roar-some, illustrated poems celebrates the weird and wonderful world of dinosaurs… With striking graphic illustrations that bring a real sense of fun and humour to the poems, this is a book which is great for both dipping in and out of in a classroom setting or treasuring and returning to at home. * BookTrust *
A large-format, romping, stomping treasure, beautifully produced and one hopes, likely to turn a fair number of dinosaur-fanatic children into poetry enthusiasts too. * Red Reading Hub *
If you are a dinosaur fan looking for fascinating facts, prehistoric pictures and perfect poems, this is the book for you. * Just Imagine *
