Go Dinos Go!
By J.Prather
When you put dinosaurs together with transportation and going fast, you are destined to please every preschooler in your story time audience! Penny Dale has created the perfect mix for young dinosaur and transportation fans with this bold, colorful book that even manages to teach some colors. Each two page spread features a different dinosaur driving vehicles as varied as jeeps, tractors, sports cars, cranes, and motorcycles as they race to set up for a birthday party! They go up and down hills, through forests and mud puddles with as much speed as the accompanying zoom zoom and brmm brmm text can muster.The text doesn't rhyme, but still manages to achieve a great read aloud flow while including lots of fun sound effect words such as zoom, splash, squelch, beep, brmmm and chug. These are all fun words that encourage audience participation as they speed along with these multi-colored dinosaurs. Each dinosaur is referred to by his color, such as "Green dinosaur rattling. Rattling down the hill." The dinosaur colors are well defined, making this a good resource for teaching colors and color words. We learn six different colors before the dinos all arrive at the party site. Kids will then relish the opportunity to identify each dino as they emerge from hiding to surprise their "littlest dinosaur". If you need help with identification, the front and end papers identify each dino and each piece of machinery.Dinosaur Zoom is an excellent choice for even the youngest of dino fans! This is a book that will generate lots of requests for repeat readings due to the bouncy text and the detailed, colorful illustrations. An exciting mix of two favorite preschool subjects and an enthusiastic recommend.

Zooming here, zooming there, what are friends for?
By Amazon Customer
This book brings together so many different elements your child will be learning and having fun at the same time! A win-win situation! Dinosaur Zoom! is filled with big, easy words, colors, an array of dinosaurs and vehicles, varying terrain and weather, and the endless possibilities that can arise with a little team work and compassion.This book has been illustrated with children in mind, using bright colors, simply detailed, and wonderfully matched to the story itself. These are the types of books children of both sexes are drawn too and will be cherished for a long time.This is a must have book for any elementary grade teacher or children's story time, as well as for your personal collection. I know my young daughter enjoyed it and I am sure your children will too!

By J. M. Owens
This is a wonderful book - probably my new favorite kids' book. It hits all the right notes; it's just the right length, the text is fun to say while incorporating some advanced words, the art is wonderful, the message is sweet, and it has dinosaurs driving cars! My 3 year old son makes me read it at least twice every night, and unlike the majority of kids' books, I really don't mind. We'll be buying copies of this for our nephews (and nieces, should any come along!)
