everyone will love this!

The content of this book is highly entertaining and educational in such a fun way that adults will enjoy it too. I love the illustrations! I'm so glad my 5-yr old found this in her school library.

Smile while your read

Excellent book. I read this book to my 51/2-year-oldand HAD to bring it to her Kindergarten teacherto share with her class. The rhyming is superb, theillustrations are exceptional: humorous as the text, complementing it, and adding an additional dimension.Entertaining for adult and young readers, it challengesour presumed knowledge of these prehistoric creatures.Guranteed to make you smile.

The Will Always be Dinosaurs!

Dinosaurs Forever is a delightful collection of witty, irreverent poems that take some scientific facts known about dinosaurs and combines them with funny, very hip verse. These poems are complimented by Lynn Munsinger's detailed, expressive illustrations and it all adds up to one charming, amusing book that everyone in the family will enjoy. There's even a pronounciation guide to help parents with some of the multi-syllable dinosaur names. This is a wonderful book that kids of all ages will want to read again and again. Share it and enjoy!

Primeval Poetry in Motion

What a wonderfully playful book! This is a marriage of clever wordplay and uniquely silly illustrations by William Wise and Lynn Munsinger. The dinosaur poetry is not only fun but informative as it combines imaginative verse with dinosaur facts: What do dinosaurs eat? How did they get along with other dinosaurs? And why could a T-Rex never have been pink. I loved the poems for their keen humor and downright silliness. The illustrations were a special treat (I still giggle at the picture of a very frightened gorgosaurus exposing his massive teeth in the dentist's chair!)Creative and inventive - and great way for children to remember which dinosaur is which! (Or is that a problem only adults have...? Never fear...there's a helpful pronunciation guide included.) If you liked such poetry classics as Shel Silverstein's WHERE THE SIDEWALK ENDS, you will delight in DINOSAURS FOREVER.
