A cute collection of poems about dinosaur bones. I really enjoyed some and others were not very engaging.

Bone Poems is a fun way to learn about dinosaurs, museums, and rhyming. The poems vary in length but never cease to amuse. Leigh's illustrations provide the perfect complement to the poem, allowing the reader to identify the different dinosaurs or bones in the poems. There is also hidden games within the book, like counting the number of bones on the page. This would be a good read aloud but be sure to study the pronunciation guide in the back.

**edit** having placed the author's name, I'm now wondering if these would work better SUNG. Not sure. Maybe I'll try it with the nephew.
meh. I picked it up because there was a buy one get one free at the bookstore, and I had counted wrong. It was worth "free" but wouldn't've been worth the one dollar it otherwise would've cost. Some of it's cute, some of it's fun to read aloud, but a lot of them the rhyme and rhythm patterns are so screwy that the only way you can read them is to pretend you're wearing a beret and snap a lot to fill in the gaps.
There's a difference between free-verse and fucked-up-verse. this is the latter.
