This was
another rhyming book about all types of Dinosaurs. The book used many different
adjectives to describe how each dinosaur was different i.e- tiny, plump, and spiky. There was no plot because after all the dinosaurs were
described, the book ended.
I thought
the message of this book went deeper than just talking about dinosaurs. In my
opinion, the author was trying to convey to young readers the same kind of
message as Dr. Seuss was when he wrote: “A person’s a person no matter how small.” In this book, Boynton was explaining that no matter how different each "person" (or Dinosaur) is in this
world, we are still all people (or Dinosaurs). This is a very important message for children to
grasp early on so that by time they go to school, they are aware that not
everyone is the same. In other words, the moral was that some people may look or be different compared to yourself or your group of friends, but that is ok!
Rating: I give this book a 4 out of 5 stars and highly recommend parents to buy this book for their children!
