'Dinosaur roar, dinosaur squeak, dinosaur fierce, dinosaur meek ...' This chunky board book about opposites full of rampaging dinosaurs will undoubtedly appeal to dinosaur-lovers everywhere. However, I am not sure who this is aimed at - a rogue extra dinosaur who pops in here and there could prove confusing for the youngest readers who need their 'opposites' clear-cut, and older dino-fans might be frustrated by being unable to identify all of the dinosaurs clearly. The words read quite well, the rhyme ending with a variation of the well known couplet 'gobble, gobble, nibble, nibble, munch, munch, scrunch' with which children will enjoy joining in. (This title was first published as a picture book.)
