Dinosaurs, Dinosaurs

Dinosaur books are some of the most popular books for young children.  Here are some of my favorites --

Goldilocks and the Three Dinosaurs by Mo Willems
When three hungry dinosaurs lay a trap hoping to catch something to eat, Goldilocks who never listens to warnings, walks into their house and springs the trap.

Brontorina by James Howe
Despite her size and not having the proper footwear, a determined dinosaur pursues her dream of becoming a ballerina.

Dinosaur vs. Bedtime by Bob Shea
Little Dinosaur roars his way through a number of daily challenges, but he cannot seem to defeat bedtime.

Tadpole Rex by Kurt Cyrus
A tiny primordial tadpole grows into a frog, feeling just as strong and powerful as the huge Tyrannosaurus rex that stomps through the mud.

T Is for Terrible by Peter McCarty
A tyrannosaurus rex explains that he cannot help it that he is enormous and hungry and is not a vegetarian.

Alphasaurs and Other Prehistoric Types by Sharon Werner
The dinosaurs in this stylish book are ingeniously engineered out of letters. A different typeface comprises each animal. Factual information about each dinosaur appears in multiple entries and fonts, making for an eye-catching and witty way to look at the ABC-DINO's.
