Booktalk: Who likes dinosaurs? Maybe you wouldn’t want to meet one, but most of us love reading about dinosaurs. This book, Dinothesaurs, has a poem for every type of dinosaur. Want to learn more? Then listen.
Note to adult sponsor: The bold illustrations were created on a paper bag with a variety of media, providing an entertaining collage. The humorous text provides a playful look at each type of dinosaur with helpful pronunciations. The back lists a glossary, list of dinosaur museums and fossil sites and a selected bibliography. Could also be useful for all types of older readers, especially reluctant readers. For a Web site with dinosaur activities and coloring pages, trywww.ivyjoy.com/coloring/dinosaur.shtml
