This is a really great book to read aloud... very loud. Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Charlotte Jane the Hearty comes into the world howling. Before longand#160;sheand#160;grows into a little girl who loves playing pirate--perhaps because she lives with what appear to be retired pirate parents. Charlotte Jane engages in swashbuckling sessions, goes on treasure hunts, and seeks out Fantastic Feats of Daring--all the while proving she hasformidableoomph. She is not thrilled when bedtime approaches. Her mother tells her thatand#160;no one can be hearty without a good night's sleep, which Charlotte Jane finds out all on her own when her oomph disappears. She discovers at last that dreams, especiallyherdreams, are rip-roaring fun.and#160; Review:"Shea (New Socks) makes a hilarious commentator as his hero, a small red dinosaur, elevates everyday encounters into a series of matches worthy of the WWF. 'Dinosaur versus... a bowl of spaghetti!' announces Shea and, with a trio of bold typographic roars (and two chomps), the bowl is vanquished. 'Dinosaur wins again!' declares Shea, as Dinosaur coolly acknowledges his triumph. Again and again, Dinosaur proves unbeatable — the foes he defeats include a pile of leaves, a big slide and 'talking grown-ups' — but the title hints at his Achilles heel. Dinosaur may not resemble anything found in a paleontology textbook, but he's a terrific surrogate. Incorporating paper, paint, photo collage and quick strokes of crayon, Shea's freewheeling compositions convey both a beguiling spontaneity and a preschooler's sense of invincibility. Kids will be only too happy to capitulate to this irresistible package. Ages 2 — 6. (Sept.)" Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
