Synopses & Reviews
They stoke the boiler, stow the luggage, and when hills are steep, they even get out and push. That's right, the thrill-seeking daredevil dinosaurs from
Dinosailors are back, and now they're riding a train. But this train is more like a roller coaster--up, down, and faster and faster, until the dinos realize the brakes are out!
Laughs and thrills abound in this rip-snorting tale of reckless reptiles and their runaway train.

The wind is high, the sea is rough, and dinosailors are dinotough!
Arenand#8217;t they?
Life at sea may be too much for these landlubber dinos, but the ups and downs of their dinosailing trip is sure to have readers in stitches!"A happy-go-lucky tale....in a zesty rhyme that makes the most of the prefix dino ('dinosailors choose a course / Raise anchor using dinoforce')....The rhythm and word play are the fun here."and#160;Booklist
Review
"The rollicking, rhyming text is great for reading aloud. Fine's playful, colorful dinosaurs are remarkably expressive and full of child appeal....And with such subject matter as dinosaurs and trains who could go too far wrong?" - School Library Journal

Synopsis
Prepare for a high-rhyming, tummy-tickling, rip-snortingly hilarious tale of hijinks on the high seas when a crew of novice dinosailors set sail for adventure . . . only to find that something even better awaits them back home.
Deb Lund has created a dinovoyage of epic proportions, an outrageous journey that finds a dinomite match in the equally outlandish art of Howard Fine.
Synopsis
Little Owl flies through the night forest, visiting his friends. One friendly fox says hello, two beavers wave, three skunks nibble berries. And when Little Owl finally reaches his own tree, he sees Raccoon who has gathered ten acorns. Sweetly told, 1-2-3 is just right for children learning their numbers!

They climb! They drop! These rail-riding dinos just can't stop!
