circle-time win for Stein, who’s proving to be a master at anthropomorphizing critters with perfectly overemphatic kid-like mannerisms. Stein makes great use of fun onomatopoeia to punctuate a prehistoric tale modern parents know all too well - children making earnest efforts to learn a new skill only to achieve hilariously disastrous results. : Dinosaur Kisses (9780763661045) by Stein, David Ezra and a great selection of similar New, Used and Collectible Books available now at great. Newly hatched tots will delight in this affectionate, if totally silly story about lessons learned the hard way. It’s big, loud fun for rowdy, raucous toddlers. The book’s dominating horizontal line, as we watch Dinah stomp along the horizon, makes for compelling page turns, also matching the great energy of the book.
Infused with lively, attention-grabbing yellows and cheerful, stimulating oranges to match Dinah’s mood, the book is filled with thick black outlines and chunky lettering. Kids will plunge into the whomping and chomping with glee, and they’ll understand a hero who means to be careful, but who ends up stomping all over things anyway. Attempts to do something that isn’t in her nature make for silly fun that’s likely to set preschoolers chomping and stomping around the room and maybe exchanging a few kisses of their own.
