This book talks about days in prehistoric times and the numerous kinds of dinosaurs. This book includes simple art and it is easy to read. It can be used in the classroom to help to teach about science and dinosaurs.

The book opens and closes with the pronunciation of eight types of dinosaurs. The illustrations are very simple and look like they were done with markers. The book introduces the idea that dinosaurs have/are different outer shells, claws, backs, sleeping habits, necks, sizes, and tails, etc.
Though
In the classroom, I would have first or second graders use the book as one of their sources when researching about dinosaurs. For preschoolers I would have them practice coloring outlines of dinosaurs after reading the story. I would have different types of dry noodles available for gluing. This would emphasize different kinds of dinosaur shells and backbones.

the book is very vague and no credentials were given about the author, it is a great information source. The book would be best read to preschool to no older than second grade.In the classroom, I would have first or second graders use the book as one of their sources when researching about dinosaurs.

Dinosaurs is a book about dinosaurs that lived along time ago and the book talked about all the different characteristics of the dinosaurs.
I thought this book would be great for really young children and especially boys because they wood love the little information and pictures of the dinosaurs.

Summary:
This book gives very basic information on dinosaurs. It gives information about how they look, if they are big or small, if they have spikes, or sharp teeth, the different shapes on each of them. It goes through each of the different kinds of dinosaurs.
Personal Reaction:
I personally love
Classroom Extension Ideas:
1) Teachers can do a unit on dinosaurs. This book will introduce the basic shapes of the dinosaurs. They could do an art activity that deals with shapes. They can either remake a dinosaur they have already seen or they can make up how they imagined their own dinosaur to look like.
2) With this book students can do a creative writing assignment. They can either pick their favorite dinosaur and tell a story of it's life, or they can create a story on how they think the dinosaurs appeared on Earth, or how they think they became extinct.

I would have the children act like they were dinosaurs and talk about what they would eat, where they would live, what they would look like. Then I would have the children use different supplies in the classroom to make their own dinosaur.
