Preschool dinosaur enthusiasts will enjoy this simple, unscientific rhyming ode to dinos of all kinds. The descriptive rhymes compare and contrast various dinosaurs ("We love ones that can gallop past... / and plodding ones that don't go fast"), and the endpapers contain the scientific names of the dinosaurs featured throughout. Volpin's soft watercolor and pencil illustrations depict even a roaring T. rex as benign and cute.

In this interactive picture book, mustachioed crocodile artist Crocodali encourages readers to tilt, turn, shake, and blow to help create a masterpiece. Although not as imaginative or successful as Hervé Tullet's creations, the short length, bright primary colors, and slightly grumpy narrator make this an enticing read-aloud. Crisp white space and pleasing compositions make up for occasionally awkward page-turn transitions.
