The rhyming opportunities in the book will be sure to delight! A book to be enjoyed as a family favourite, a bed time read, or a read aloud in an educational setting. Suitable for young children, this picture book helps to educate young children in the variety of dinosaurs that once existed, while subtly teaching them about opposite categories. Now regarded as a children’s classic, Dinosaur Roar! is a fantastic book to begin your dinosaur learning journey. For any dinosaur lover (I have two of my own) Dinosaur Roar! is a must-read! It has a shiny silver cover, an endorsement sticker from the Natural History Museum and this new edition also has an extra bonus dinosaur poster as the back of the book.


To commemorate this occasion, Dinosaur Roar! has received a great facelift. Publication Date: First Australian ed.Dinosaur Roar! penned by writing duo Paul and Henrietta Strickland recently celebrated its 25 th anniversary. Don't buy this one for a complicated narrative, but do buy it for the tyke who is dinosaur obsessed. This book is simple enough for the littlees to grasp, and straight forward enough to actually teach them something. The dinosaurs are just so darn tootin' pretty to look at! I don't have an overabundance of picture books made with watercolour paint as the main illustration medium, and the Sticklands clearly know how to wrangle a paintbrush.

My favourite part of this book is absolutely the illustrations.

The book is over 20 years old, and still as relevant and likely just as appealing to its target demographic as it was when it was first written in 1994. Plainly put, it's kind of an odd transition, but my 21-month-old really doesn't care so I'm not sure I should either. Towards the end, the rhyming narrative about opposites somehow transitions into rhyming adjectives describing the dinosaurs eating lunch. 'Dinosaur fast, dinosaur slow, dinosaur above and dinosaur below'. Dinosaur Roar! teaches children useful adjectives, and does so using dinosaurs to grab (and hold) their attention: This one's for the kiddies who are in that dinosaur-lovin' stage.
