About The Book

Step back in time with this fossil-filled picture book poetry collection that explores the prehistoric era with Douglas Florian’s singular wit and style.

This book is full of dinosaurs,
Both carnivores and herbivores. You’ll find a big Iguanodon,
As well as clever Tro-o-don. There’s Spinosaurus and T. rex,
Plus plesiosaurs with GIANT necks…

Twenty funny and factual poems bring dinosaurs to life—illuminating the natural history of these amazing creatures as well as their unique and quirky characteristics.
