Like their first book, the Newbolds again wonder if a specific artist painted a dinosaur, what would it look like? Readers are introduced to nineteen artists and what their dinosaurs might look like.
Thoughts: Another hit from the team of Newbold and Newbold. Their choice of topics, first snowmen and now dinosaurs, have so much kid appeal. The back of the book includes a Meet the Artists section, a Meet the Dinosaurs sections, and Greg Newbold's Advice for Artists. Like If Picasso Painted a Snowman, this second book also includes an invitation to the reader to create their own dinosaur. I haven't had a chance to use this book in storytime or schools yet, but I'm looking forward to it.
