Books like Dinosaur vs. the Library
By Bob Shea
For the kid who roars at everything and everyone — this book gives that big energy somewhere wonderful to go: the library. Loud, silly, and gleefully rowdy, with a soft landing in storytime.
A rambunctious crew of dinosaurs shakes tails and stomps feet through a string of silly dance moves — the Shimmy Shimmy Shake, the Quivery Quake, and a rollicking Cha Cha Cha.
Dinosaurs of every shape and size stomp, wiggle, and boogie their way to a swampy clearing, gathering for one huge, thundering dance party.
Enormous dinosaurs head off to school just like any kid — riding the bus, reading books, and romping on the playground with classmates who happen to be the size of a Ceratosaurus.
A barnyard full of animals kicks up a rollicking square dance, with a fiddle-playing cow calling the moves as pigs, sheep, and horses twirl across the pages.
Two friends imagine what kind of dogs they'd be — one dreams up being a big dog, the other little — as their game of pretend becomes a way of working out who gets to decide what happens next.
A parade of dinosaurs shows off opposite traits in bouncy rhyme — weak and strong, short and long, sweet and grumpy — as they race, roar, and stomp toward lunch.
A sound-making wonder named Mr. Brown moos like a cow, hoos like an owl, buzzes like a bee, and even chews gum like a grum-grumming hippo, daring readers to make every noise right along with him.
A boy welcomes a hungry moose with a muffin, but one muffin leads to jam, then a trip to the store for more mix, spinning into one favor after another.
A man and his dog set out in a rowboat with lunch for three, only to get launched airborne when a playful whale surfaces right beneath them.
A newly hatched dinosaur named Dinah tries out stomping and chomping on the world around her, then sets out to give a kiss without accidentally whomping anyone first.
Giant dinosaurs show off their cat-owner skills — petting, feeding, playing with toys, and even cleaning the litter box — as they figure out how to keep a kitty happy.
