Dinothesaurus: Prehistoric Poems & Paintings by Douglas Florian



Witty poems present readers with eighteen different dinosaurs as well as reflections on the beginning and the end of dinosaurs.

Thoughts: I had so much fun sharing these poems with first and second graders in "Dinovember." The poems are witty and often tongue-in-cheek. I love that the poems and illustrations match so well. That's the beauty of the author and illustrator being the same person. My favorite poems are Iguanodon and Stegoceras. This book pairs well with Prehistoric Actual Size by Steve Jenkins.

Themes: Dinosaurs, Poetry
