Book Reviews of Dinosaur Roar (Picture Puffins)
Book Review: Kids love it, and so do I!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Got this as a gift for my new son. Lot's of fun to read and make the dinosaur sounds. OK, so I'm a big kid. Highly recommended!Book Review: A great choice for toddler one-on-one or group read-aloud
Summary: 4 Stars
This is one of those rhythmic, rhyming, funny books with emphasis on adjectives, this time describing the characteristics of brightly-colored, extremely funny dinosaurs. Unlike Byron Barton's Dinosaurs, Dinosaurs, this one emphasizes humor rather than scientific accuracy, it's unclear which historical beasts these animals represent. Their descriptions are simpler, presented in predictable, rhythmic text: "dinosaur sweet, dinosaur grumpy, dinosaur spiky, and dinosaur lumpy." On the final page the carnivores are depicted gnawing on bones, and the herbivores devouring trees, while a smiling tyrannasaur munches on the letters.
This is a fast read, with all the characteristics that make it perfect for toddlers who require humor, rhythm, predictability, and a short attention span. It's perfect for one-on-one reading or for a group. Available in paperback or board book format.
Book Review: left me disappointed
Summary: 3 Stars
This was just ok. Art could have been better. The kids (3 & 5) who love dinosaurs and have a nice collection of books haven't picked up the book since the first time they read it. I prefer the books with more info.So do the kids--even the little one. Money wasted for me. Maybe it's ok for little ones who haven't been in to dinos for some time.
