\"\"<\/a>Some Dinosaurs Are Small<\/em><\/p>\n

by Charlotte Voake<\/p>\n

Candlewick Press, 2020. 28 pages.
\nReview written September 3, 2020, from a library book
\nStarred Review<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a picture book that would be perfect for Toddler Storytime (if I ever get to do those again!). It\u2019s short and sweet, with not a lot of words on a page. It has pictures of dinosaurs and a fun kicker at the end.<\/p>\n

The book begins with a happy little dinosaur in a jungle with a basket.<\/p>\n

Some dinosaurs are small.<\/p>\n

They have tiny flat teeth for munching through fruit and leaves.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

On that second spread, we see parts of big dinosaurs behind the trees. Sure enough, what comes next is:<\/p>\n

Some dinosaurs are BIG.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The little dinosaur is clearly in danger from the big dinosaurs. They steal the food from his fruit basket and are still hungry.<\/p>\n

But the punchline, drawn out over several spreads, is:<\/p>\n

Some dinosaurs . . .<\/p>\n

are simply . . .<\/p>\n

E N O R M O U S !<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And the little dinosaur caps it off with the words, \u201cHello, Mommy!\u201d<\/p>\n

A kid may be small, but this is a fun reminder that they\u2019ve got grown-ups looking out for them. And it\u2019s got dinosaurs!<\/p>\n
