Age: Kindergarten-2nd gradeFollowing the path of The Boy Who Cried Wolf, four little dinosaurs are warned by their parents to watch out for Gigantosaurus. Bonehead always insists on being the lookout but enjoys flaunting his power, tricking the other dinos into hiding from friendly dinosaurs. I appreciate the rhythm of the text but there are some boo-boos (but nothing that will really distract kids or puzzle a reader). A note on the illustrations: Duddle anthropomorphizes the characters in a way similar to Pixar or Disney movies. Take that as you will. This was a great read and so funny. It's about a dinosaur who "cried wolf" after a while his friends leave him to be eaten by a dinosaur bigger than T-Rex, the Gigantosaurus. I like the back of the book that tells about the different dinosaurs and also about the true Giganotosaurus (yes that's how you spell it).I would read for storytimes about telling the truth, silly or funny, or dinosaurs. I think older kids (in grade school) would get this better then little ones.
This book has awesome illustrations. The preschool storytime crowd will love it!
