Synopses & Reviews
In this read-along picture book, a classroom full of young dinosaurs plays with toys, does art projects, and reads books. But each activity is another opportunity for the over-enthusiastic Tyrannosaurus Rex to wreak havoc. Parents and young children will love the call-and-response nature of the book, and young dinosaur fans will appreciate the listing (and pronunciation guide) for a dozen different dino species. The format is extra vertical in order to accommodate T. Rexandrsquo;s biggest messes.
Praise for Tyrannosaurus Wrecks
andquot;Punchy writing, an equally in-your-face palette, and OHoraandrsquo;s characteristically brash painting style make this as much a stompalong as a readaloud.andquot;
--Publishers Weekly
andquot;Along with the pleasure of pronouncing those multisyllabic dino names, young audiences may find food for thought in the behavioral dynamics on display.andquot;
--Kirkus Reviews
andquot;Warmly colored with childlike bodies and emotive faces, Ohoraandrsquo;s dinosaurs are among the cutest you will come across in childrenandrsquo;s books.andquot;
--Booklist
andquot;The brief rhyming text, which scans well, tells a story with child appeal. There is a good balance of two-to-three word sentences with large, uncluttered illustrations, making the book a good choice for reading aloud. In their simplicity, the brightly colored pictures have the look of childrenandrsquo;s art, but they enhance the classroom setting appropriately with interesting details.andquot;
--School Library Journal
andquot;The shapely dinos, whose rough charcoal-style outlines and strong colors vividly contrast with the white or sometimes black backgrounds, are chunky and friendly in an eight-crayon-box color scheme and snazzy Peanuts-reminiscent outfits.andquot;
--Bulletin of the Center for Childrenandrsquo;s Books
andquot;Together the chanting rhythm, ragged lines, and setting of an un-chaperoned dinosaur class create a satisfyingly high-energy, primal read-aloud strongly reminiscent of Bob Sheaandrsquo;s and#39;Dinosaur vs.and#39; series.andquot;
--The Horn Book Magazine
