Illustrated by
Christopher Santoro.
Jolly, brightly colored dinosaurs hide behind trees from the baby dino who is "it." Each durable page features a banal rhyme about dinosaurs, an unfinished rhyme, and a flap to unfold, revealing the rhyme's conclusion and a hiding place. The pictures are humorously exaggerated (e.g., maiasaur hides her eggs in a tree), resulting in a painless if somewhat hokey introduction to basic dinosaur facts.
