Dinosaur Dinner - Softcover

Canadian poet Dennis Lee's poetry is well loved by children around the world. This collection of 41 poems was selected by anthologist Jack Prelutsky from Lee's four previous books of poetry, including The Ice Cream Store. Children in the early grades will chuckle at poems about dinosaurs and alligators, monsters and mud puddles, bears and bees, and belly buttons. Debbie Tilley's exuberant watercolor illustrations perfectly complement Lee's verse; both have the same bouncy good humor that kids love. Invite a dinosaur to dinner at your house (and don't forget some alligator pie for dessert). (Ages 4 to 7)

"This zesty miscellany offers many a silly ode on food, mud, bugs and the author's homeland. There's a Shel Silverstein-like bounce to the rhythms and unerring meter."
--Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Humorous, wacky, and wonderful, appealingly presented from the first page to the last."
--School Library Journal

"Dennis Lee has a magical way with words, as this collection of his rib-tickling poetry makes abundantly clear."
--The Orlando Sentinel
