(3) K-3 Ready-to-Read series. This genial beginning reader about dinosaurs racing has the rhythm and rhyme of a chant: "Rolling reptiles, in your places! Time to start the Dino Races!" Illustrations in jewel tones with a sponge-painted look and minimal lines depict helmeted dinosaurs riding a unicycle, a tricycle, roller skates, and a skateboard through a racecourse, complete with spectators and a concession stand. (Brontosaurus gets off to a late start, being busy "munching, ­crunching at the cart.") There are ten to fifteen words on some spreads, many of them challenging, particularly the dinosaur names. ­Windness sticks with dinos that are familiar parts of the childhood lexicon, though, and the cadence, illustrations, and straightforward action provide encouraging nudges in the right direction. A supportive choice for children who are building stronger phonics skills.
