In this oversize picture book, numerous contestants are gathering for the Dinosaur Dance judging, among them Steggy Stegosaurus, T. Rex, and Patty Apatosaurus. The emcee, a large unidentified dinosaur with sharp teeth and big claws, introduces the participants one by one: "Tap along with raptors,/do the Troodie boogaloo,/stomp a 'saurus samba/round Patty's pile of poo." Each large page shows one of the flamboyantly bright reptiles doing its thing. Meanwhile, the four diminutive dino judges are shown in front of the stage, holding up cards with numbers after the contestants perform, but--strangely--the judges seem to be disappearing as the show progresses. The final two spreads announce: "Come on! Dance with dinosaurs!/You could be a winner!/It's tons of fun for everyone, until it's time... [page turn]... for dinner!" The corresponding artwork depicts the emcee chasing all of the dinosaurs. On the last page, he says "Good night!" and wipes his mouth with a hankie as bones litter the floor around him. With many small details to be discovered in the exuberant and wildly colorful illustrations, this amusing story is suitable for one-on-one sharing or storytimes. |

I was pretty skeptical when I first heard about this book. I remember thinking "this is going to be very, very bad, or incredibly funny." Lucky for us, it is very funny indeed. This is a great pick for any dinosaur lover, and no, I don't think you need to be a fan of Dancing with The Stars in order to enjoy these dino antics. These dinosaurs are cute instead of scary, even the T. Rex who likes to tango. Readers can do "the Steggy twist and shout", "Disco with the Duckbills", or "stomp a'saurus samba round Patty's pile of poo." Try reading that out loud in story time and see if you get a laugh or two.
One line of text per page makes this a quick read, and the bright, large, extremely colorful cartoon illustrations mark this as an excellent pick for a preschool group read aloud. This is a high energy book that also manages to include each dinosaur's full name in a beginning two page spread entitled "meet the contestants". Full of glitz and glamour, Dancing with the Dinosaurs is sure to charm in story time or for one on one sharing. |
