Never Ask a Dinosaur to Dinner
Illustrator: Guy Parker-ReesA cosy goodnight book to share, highlighting the difficulties that may arise through dinner, bath and bedtimes The brilliant writing and illustrations marry well to ensure lots of laughs, and there is much to discover by reading the pictures in this merry romp of a cautionary tale. The small boy and his ted warn us clearly that there are some things one must never do. Never ask a dinosaur to dinner, or share your toothbrush with a shark. Or use a tiger as a towel. The consequences are graphic!! ‘Please don’t let a barn owl in your bed, for at bedtime here is what is best… One teddy and a flock of sheep. THAT’S how you can have a lovely sleep.’ The rhyming text bounces along, asking for young ones to join in. The main subject on each spread focuses the eye, the text changing font size for emphasis. A great read-aloud, and perfect for children to explore solo.
