Illustrated by
Lynne Chapman.
Eight short poems point out the silliest and scariest features of prehistoric creatures. Although the meter and rhyme can be off and some endings don't pack the punch intended, the poems provide an accessible, amusing introduction to dinosaur similarities and differences. Bright illustrations make this a friendly, not frightening, world. Lift-the-flaps show that the pages can't contain the title behemoths.
