On Mega Bowl Sunday, the plant-eating Greenblade Snackers and the carnivorous Redscales face off at the fan-thronged Lava Dome. Young football enthusiasts will recognize game lingo crammed into the sometimes choppy rhyming couplets. Dino names called out in red or green font help readers keep the players straight. The busy, boisterous illustrations are well suited to the frenetically paced text.
