I learned quite a bit about a variety of dinosaurs reading this book to my kindergarten students today! They loved the lift-the-flap surprises and the rhyming as that helped them guess what was under the flap. This went great for our dinosaur theme today for Picture Book Month.

My nephew requested a dinosaur book, so I found this one for him. I'll let him speak for himself here. He said, "This book is awesome and cool! But, there's a problem. There are no T-Rexes." To a four year old, if you don't have a T-Rex, you don't have dinosaurs. :-) Still, this is a great book for pre-school kids or kindergarten students.

An actually really rather informative book, Rumble, Roar, Dinosaur packs a lot of information into rhyme. A great idea, no? But the theory is better than the execution. Some of the rhymes are a little off. The illustrations are decent but unremarkable. It isn't bad, it just doesn't do enough to really stand out amongst the masses of children's books.

I won this book in a giveaway through goodreads. What I received was hard to explain. It was a book that was not bound. It was all loose pages. There were certainly no "lift-the-flap" surprises. I ended up throwing it away because there wasn't even a reasonable way to read it.
