Book description
This book is full of dinosaurs,
Both carnivores and herbivores.
You'll find a big Iguanodon,
As well as a clever Tro-o-don.
There's Spinosaurus and T. rex,
Plus plesiosaurs with giant necks,
And others from an ancient age.

Why read it?
1 author picked Dinothesaurus as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
What I really love about this book is the use of poetry and original and engaging illustrations to invite kids into reading. My favorite poem is “Barosaurus,” which does a particularly good job of inviting the young readers to engage their imagination with the book. While not my favorite Douglas Florian book, it is, like the other books from this very talented author and illustrator, well worth the read!
From Steven's list on The best medley of dinosaur books: poetry, pop-up, and professional paleontology.

As strange as…
