I love books that have a rhythm to them. The flow of this book almost makes you want to get up and stomp around...actually my kids literally get up and stomp around when I read this. I then have to warn them that if they don't want to become extinct like the dinosaurs they should sit down and listen to the rest of the story.
Carol Diggory Shields has thrown in a lot of fun phrases that kids like to repeat, and repeat, and repeat, and well, you get the point. I like reading it because it is a quick fun story that my kids haven't gotten sick of yet.
Scott Nash has created awesome pictures full of color and movement! If you check out his website you'll see that his illustrations just scream "FUN!".
So if the weather is cruddy where you're at and you feel like partying it up indoors, just throw a Dinosaur Stomp party!
