Why am I passionate about this?
I am, like so many other young people (yes, I still think of myself as young!), fascinated with dinosaurs and prehistory, and have been for as long as I can remember. What I really find interesting and engaging is the combination of the fact that they do not exist anymore and therefore are otherworldly with the fact that they are real and actually of this world!
Steven's book list on dinosaurs with poetry, pop-up, and paleontology
Why did Steven love this book?
What I really love about this book is the use of poetry and original and engaging illustrations to invite kids into reading. My favorite poem is “Barosaurus,” which does a particularly good job of inviting the young readers to engage their imagination with the book. While not my favorite Douglas Florian book, it is, like the other books from this very talented author and illustrator, well worth the read!
1 author picked Dinothesaurus as one of their favorite books, and they share why you should read it. This book is for kids age 6, 7, 8, and 9.
This book is full of dinosaurs,
Both carnivores and herbivores.
You'll find a big Iguanodon,
As well as a clever Tro-o-don.
There's Spinosaurus and T. rex,
Plus plesiosaurs with giant necks,
And others from an ancient age.
