Mighty Tyrannosaurus Loved stomp, stomp, stomping,Gigantic legs striding, enormous jaws opening,Jagged teeth waiting for guzzle, guzzling!So stomp, Tyrannosaurus, stomp!
From the creators of Dig Dig Digging comes a noisy parade of dinosaurs who stomp, chomp, race, and chase their way through this energetic, pitch-perfect read-aloud about our favorite prehistoric creatures that once walked through our world.
Bold and vivid cut-paper collage art leaps off the page to capture the imaginations of young paleontologists everywhere.

This new concept book from Caldecott Honor illustrator Suse MacDonald is sure to entertain children. As readers turn the brightly colored, die cut pages, shapes on each page come together to reveal a creature from long ago. Page by page, MacDonald’s bright, cut-paper, collage-style artwork transforms circles into eyes and triangles into scales until a familiar creature is revealed, with the aid of a large fold-out page, on the final spread.

Dinosaurs are the gimmick here, not really the subject. The subjects are, first, antonyms--such as above/below and weak/strong--and then lunch. The paired dinosaurs, in a goofy array of pastels, are almost all smiling, even when the rhyme insists they're "grumpy"--so when they settle down to a lunch with (and not of) each other, the end is satisfying. The pictures and swingy short verses will make this a good group read-aloud, even for the very young.

These prehistoric monsters are just perfect for the preschool crowds. A natural for story time.
