 A fun book for young children who love dinosaurs March 18, 2000
My son, now 12, used to love this book when he was 3 and 4 years old. It was also a lot of fun to read for me!
Prelutsky is wonderful for kids and adults. February 13, 2000
Several years after reading this book, I can still recall by heart many of Prelutsky's clever rhymes and catchy rhythms. The amazing thing is: so can my kids! The favorite dinosaurs such as T-Rex are given their poetic due, but so are lesser known dinosaurs such as leptoterigius and quetzelcoatlus. (sp?) Although I love all of Prelutsky's whimsical poetry, I felt this book was better suited for young listeners than such works as "It's Snowing! It's Snowing". (Perhaps because the subject matter is more familiar to the pre-school set) Some parents may not like the occasional graphic imagery, but lets face it: carniverous dinosaurs were not dainty eaters! The poetry is too lyrical to be truly gruesome, and besides, all kids like to be grossed out a little bit. If your child is at all into dinosaurs, this may be a good addition to your home library.
 Tyrannosaurus Was a Beast December 13, 1999
"...Allosaurus liked to hunt,and when it caught its quarry,it tore it open,back and front,and never said," I'm sorry!" Allosaurus liked to eat,and using teeth and talons,it stuffed itself with tons of meat,and guzzled blood by gallons." If you think your child does not see enough violence on TV then you should buy this book!
Very good way of teaching youngsters about dinosaurs. September 2, 1998
I read this book for the simple reason of having an interest in dinosaurs. I had never seen dinosaur poetry before and was quite amazed at how the author wrote at a child's level to know more about dinosaurs. I think that if a child has interest in dinosaurs, this book is a fun way to go about learning. It not only teaches them about dinosaurs and the way they lived, what they ate, etc., but also about poetry at the same time. This was a dinoriffic book! I recommend it to everyone with an interest in dinosaurs. :)
