Illustrated by
Jan Spivey Gilchrist.
A young artist delights in "putting paint on paper" and creating imaginary dinosaurs inside her head. Humorous poems describe the "shoppersaurus," the "singersaurus," and the "messysaurus." Different typefaces as well as different illustration styles--watercolors for the girl and markers for the dinosaurs--distinguish between the poems about the girl's drawing process and verses about her fantasies.
