Larger than life dinosaurs, in full glorious technicolour and each singing its own short song, leap from the pages of this volume which comes from the creators of Rumble in the Jungle and Commotion in the Ocean. In this vibrant swampland we meet a dozen 'dinosaurs' large and small including Tyrannosaurus Rex, Ankylosaurus, Microraptor and Velociraptor emerging from among surreal looking vegetation. Most children are able to cope with even the most tongue twisting dinosaur names but for the less adept adults there is a helpful pronunciation guide for each creature. The format is the same as for the earlier offerings from this pair: a longer introductory poem and a concluding farewell sandwiching the rhymes of the individual creatures. Bound to become another sure-fire hit with readers and listeners. A big book version soon please.
