Don't Ask a Dinosaur by Deborah Bruss, Matt Forrest Esenwine
4.0
Thanks to the publisher for this review copy!
Dinosaur aficionados are going to LOVE this one! You do NOT want to ask these dinosaurs to help plan and set up your birthday party ~ trust me. With a style and cadence similar to Numeroff's IF YOU GIVE A.... series, this book shares why you shouldn't ask each particular dinosaur to do certain tasks, with adorable illustrations to show exactly what will happen. As an adult, I greatly appreciate the syllable breaks in the dino names since these always trip me up during read alouds! There is a great dino fact section at the end of the book so you can dig in and learn more about each of the dinosaurs as well.
This book will be sure to delight kiddos and will be a really fun read aloud as long as the librarian/teacher/parent does a little dino-name-pronunciation run through ahead of time ;-)
