Synopses & Reviews
These daring dinosaurs have conquered land and seaand#8212;now theyand#8217;re ready for the sky!
But to get airborne, they need a plan. They dinoblow. They run, push, leap, flapand#8212;and
take flight! The sky becomes their stage, as they join an air show. Zipping and zooming
and dancing on wings, the dinos are soon upside down and dinosick! They decide
to bail, hoping their dinochutes will work. They dino-do!
In this exuberant follow up to Dinosailors and All Aboard the Dinotrain, the rollicking
rhymes and paintings of reckless reptiles are dinofabulous.
