Dinosaur Roar

by Paul Stickland and Henrietta Stickland

Book Overview

Dinosaurs are the gimmick here, not really the subject. The subjects are, first, antonyms--such as above/below and weak/strong--and then lunch. The paired dinosaurs, in a goofy array of pastels, are... This description may be from another edition of this product.

Adorable book, cute rhyming. Perfect for baby

The illustrations are adorable and colorful with a contrasting white background, will entice your baby. Plus the rhyme is cute and fun. We love this book!

Missing pages

This is one of my son's favorite books. When we got it in the mail and discovered multiple pages were missing, we were extremely disappointed. Unacceptable.

One of my simple favorites!

It's short but does a lot! Each spread features a simple comparision of 2 different dinosaurs. It's a simple book of opposites that feature vibrant water color illustrations that are wonderfully painted to illustrate the comparision concepts. "Dinosaur clean, dinosaur slimmy." "Dinosaur fit, dinosaur fat." "Dinosaur short or very very long." spiky / lumpy etc.etc. It rhymes comfortably throughout. I've taken my examples out of order. But that's the idea of comparing opposites. The fierce dinosaur is smaller than the meek one which is huge! That's an interesting juxtaposition, much like in real life! I love it for the simple comparison of opposites with fun visuals!

A terrific book for toddlers!

As a mom of two boys-(ages 20 months and 32 months) this book has been a hit since the day I purchased it. The bright colored pictures and sounds of the dinosaurs really hold the interest of my children. Both of my children continue to request this book to be read to them again and again... As a parent, this has also been a great learning book about opposites,e.g.- dirty and clean, dinosaurs roar and squeak). A truly terrific book for young toddlers of 1 1/2 to 3 1/2 years of age.

My daughter's first favorite book

This was the first book my daughter ever fell in love with.She was around nine months old, and she just loved the bright picturesand the rhymes and rhythms of the simple but interesting words. She especially loved the last page, where the dinosaurs start eating the book -- we usually tickled her like a dinosaur was nibbling on her, and she just laughed and laughed. Although she's moved on to other favorites, it's a rare night that "Dinosaur Roar" doesn't get added to the stack of books she wants read to her at bedtime.

Your Kids Will Love It

If you are in the market for a childrens book for ages 2 to 6...then look no further. This book captivates every child Ive seen go near it. We have purchased so many copies for gifts at birthday parties....I lost count. The colors, words, non-threatening dinosaurs, and the hard pages are all great reasons to own this book. If you want a vertually indistructable text that they will sit still and listen to, or read themselves....start clicking that mouse. I plan to buy another half dozen or more before the year is out. What better gift than that of reading to a small child!
