Books with author PAUL STICKLAND

With its colorful art and engaging text, Dinosaur More! is the ideal book for kids who just can’t get enough of these popular prehistoric creatures. Written and illustrated by the best-selling team of Henrietta and Paul Stickland, and including fabulous images from London’s Natural History Museum, it’s the perfect mixture of fact and fun. Each visually appealing spread provides an introduction to a particular species of dino, and includes:- Interesting information about its background- A labeled picture pointing out important physical features- A guide to pronouncing the dinosaur’s name- Circled sidebars about its diet and defense - A chart comparing the dinosaur size to that of a human- An icon containing its weight

Dinosaurs are the gimmick here, not really the subject. The subjects are, first, antonyms--such as above/below and weak/strong--and then lunch. The paired dinosaurs, in a goofy array of pastels, are almost all smiling, even when the rhyme insists they're "grumpy"--so when they settle down to a lunch with (and not of) each other, the end is satisfying. The pictures and swingy short verses will make this a good group read-aloud, even for the very young.-Booklist These prehistoric monsters are just perfect for the preschool crowds. A natural for story time.-School Library Journal
