Pivotal Book Review
Dinosaur
vs. Bedtime
|
by Bob Shea |
From Amazon
Roaaaar! Roaar! Nothing can stop me!
Nothing can stop little
dinosaur--not talking
grownups, spaghetti, or even
bath time. But what happens
when he faces the biggest
challenge of all...bedtime?
With spare text and
irresistible dinosaur
roaaars, little dinosaurs
will be begging for this
book to be read again and
again.
Publishers Weekly
Shea (New Socks)
makes a hilarious
commentator as his hero, a
small red dinosaur, elevates
everyday encounters into a
series of matches worthy of
the WWF. "Dinosaur versus...
a bowl of spaghetti!"
announces Shea and, with a
trio of bold typographic
roars (and two chomps), the
bowl is vanquished.
"Dinosaur wins again!"
declares Shea, as Dinosaur
coolly acknowledges his
triumph. Again and again,
Dinosaur proves
unbeatable—the foes he
defeats include a pile of
leaves, a big slide and
"talking grown-ups"—but the
title hints at his Achilles
heel. Dinosaur may not
resemble anything found in a
paleontology textbook, but
he's a terrific surrogate.
Incorporating paper, paint,
photo collage and quick
strokes of crayon, Shea's
freewheeling compositions
convey both a beguiling
spontaneity and a
preschooler's sense of
invincibility. Kids will be
only too happy to capitulate
to this irresistible
package. Ages 2–6.

For
children, sight word
recognition is an
important step to
being able to
efficiently learn to
read. If they don’t
have to stop and
consider what each
word is, they will
have the freedom to
comprehend the
meaning and context
of sentences and
paragraphs.
Consequently, it’s
critical for
parents,
babysitters,
guardians,
grandparents and
educators to help
beginning readers
