Good preschool book using rhythm, rhyming and poetry. (

This book is written for second graders and would be great for learning about onomatopoeias. This book has the rhyme and rhythm of poetry as well as a lot of different sounds for various motions and noises. The illustrations are also bright and colorful.

This is a fabulous book full of wonderful color and my pre-schooler never gets tired of reading it together. I highly recommend dancing with the dinosaurs in Dinosaurumpus! (

A great way to teach younger children about dinosaurs. It tells a little bit about different types of dinosaurs and it shows them dancing. A fun book with very bright colors. I would use this in a dinosaur lesson with K-2nd grade.

"Shake, shake shudder near the sludgy old swamp the dinosaurs are coming get ready to romp." Colorful illustrations augment the drumbeat prose as children and adults alike cannot help but stomp their feet to the dinosaur beat as the activity reaches a cresendo. Great for read aloud or story times.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0439395143, Hardcover)

Shake, shake, shudder, near the sludgy old swamp. The dinosaurs are coming. Get ready to romp. Join in with Triceratops, Stegosaurus, and friends as the dinosaurs stir up a Dinosaurumpus!

Where can you find a Deinosuchus that practically pirouettes on its tail and a T-Rex that bounds gracefully through the air? Between the pages of Tony Mitton's Dinosaurumpus, where dinosaurs run, boom, shake, and shudder their way to the "sludgy old swamp" and rock the night away. Mitton's delightful rhyme and Parker-Rees's whimsical illustrations will make children want to join in the dance while they learn about some of their favorite prehistoric pals. By the time the romp is over, and the dinosaurs are fast asleep, kids won't be able to shake that jumping, thumping Dinosaurumpus beat!
