A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

"The dino-tastic ultimate dinosaur picture book Dinosaur Roar! that has been thrilling children for 20 years" (The Guardian)

"It’s the 20th anniversary of Dinosaur Roar, the picture-book giant for small children which has been reissued for the occasion. “Dinosaur sweet, dinosaur grumpy, dinosaur spiky, dinosaur lumpy” ― it still puts a lump in your throat. In a handful of words and 24 pages of fabulous drawings, the authors convey a crucial message to small kids and big ones: different folks can get along, and even eat tea together without fighting. They should have handed it out at the peace talks in Geneva. With its satisfying onomatopoeia and scope for silly voices, it’s one of my favourite books ever to read out loud" (Alex O'Connell The Times)

"This is a delightful book, and a firm favourite with pre-schoolers. The glorious illustrations encourage comment and observation, while the rhythm of the text soon has children chanting along..." (The Independent)

"A word book - but so much more. This wonderful book introduces the concepts of opposites and its use of rhyme and rhythm really helps children to develop into excited readers" (Wendy Cooling Booktrust)

"The infectious rhythm of the bold rhyming text will have every child roaring for more!" (Child Education)

Présentation de l'éditeur :

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 almost all smiling, even when the rhyme insists they're "grumpy"--so when they settle down to a lunch with (and not of) each other, the end is satisfying. The pictures and swingy short verses will make this a good group read-aloud, even for the very young.
-Booklist

These prehistoric monsters are just perfect for the preschool crowds. A natural for story time.
