Saturday Night at the Dinosaur Stomp

I like books that rhyme for early readers who can often memorize these types of books as they would a favorite song. This story fits the bill for fun and sing song verse that gets kids as into the beat as they are the story. The book is great for group reading with its large , bright, and fun illustrations.This is an excellent early reader for word family demonstration. The kids will love learning with the fun beat and theme about a party full of dinosaurs.

In my opinion, this was a good book. The first thing I really loved about this book were the illustrations. They were quite colorful and fun with fun ‘party’ scenes that fit the text. Each page was filled with illustrations of different dinosaurs preparing for the big party while having fun. This story also did feature the names of real dinosaurs such as, “Pleiosaurus”, “Diplodocus”, and “Maiasaur”, among others. The illustrations helped me identify what the different dinosaurs looked like. I also liked that the text of the story was written as a poem. As I read it, there was an underlying beat to it that made the words flow well together. For example, one page of the story said, “The old ones gathered in a gossiping show more bunch, sitting and sipping sweet Swampwater Punch…” The big idea of this story is to briefly introduce the different kinds of dinosaurs within a fictional story. show less

A rollicking fun book, the rhythm and rhyme is very well done. Be sure to practice the pronunciations before reading the rhyme so the rhythm isn’t interrupted by stumbling over dinosaur names. It is a favorite read aloud!

This is a great book for introducing dinosaurs to a class. It names many, many different kinds of dinosaurs throughout the story. It is a funny story about all of the dino's getting ready and going to their dinosaur stomp on a Saturday night. They sing and dance throughout the night and eventually get really tired and go to sleep. This book has great illustrations that are all really detailed and each time I read it, I notice a new thing in the illustrations.

This book is a lighthearted short story about dinosaurs having a party during their time period. Then after they finished their party they fell fast asleep.

If only I knew all the pronunciation for the dinosaur names. Found myself tripping over this rhyming text because I just couldn't pronounce them quick enough to keep the rhyme going. Once I get it down it's sure to be a hit.

This is a really cute book about dinosaurs dancing. The dinosaurs have a party and there are all kinds of different dinosaurs there and they are all dancing together. The pictures in this book are very colorful and attract a child's attention.
