Dinosaurumpus!

This both a repetitive rhyming book and a dinosaur identification book. Starting with an opening scene of two prehistoric critters and a vast valley, the text reads "There's a quake and a quiver and a rumbling around. It makes you shiver. It's a thundery sound. Shake, shake shudder...near the sludgy old swamp. The dinosaurs are coming. Get ready to romp." This really sets to tone of anticipation with it's rich word choice. Over the next pages various dinosaurs come into view as they make their way to the romp: triceratops, Deinosuchus, and eventually even a Tyrannosaurus! This books makes for a delightful read aloud.

All the dinosaurs come together for the dinosaurumpus! Readers are taken on the adventure of seeing how each of the dinosaurs get ready for their dinosaurumpus. The night has come, and the rumpus is in full swing, but everyone begins to hear a noise. The noise is going from a T-rex, and all the other dinosaurs get scared, but the T-rex only wants to join in on all the fun. All the dinosaurs enjoyed their rumpus until they all fell asleep.

This book had vibrant illustrations of dinosaurs that kept the book with a fun feel to it. The text was written with a rhyme that gave the story a great flow. This could potentially be a great read a loud book with children.

"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.

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!

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.

a funny story about a bunch of dinosaurs dancing around in the forest but a TRex comes and everyone is scared. it turns out he just wants to dance too!

This is a really fun story with lots of oppertunity for children to saty the repeative line at the end of each page. Just watch out for the tounge twisting dinosaur names!
