Well, my favorite dinosaur is ankylosaurus because his spikes make enemies go away. And I wish I was that kind of dinosaur so I could spike enemies.

This is a great quick dinosaur book. It introduces several of the familiar dinosaurs with a short poem for each one. There isn't much of a story but the books begins and is capped by a couple of longer poems that set the scene for the introductions and says goodnight at the end.
