Saturday Night at the Dinosaur Stomp

By Carol Diggory Shields

Have you ever wondered what the dinosaurs did for fun? What really happened when the Jurassic gang wanted to let off some steam? They danced, of course! They rocked and rolled, they twirled and tromped! They had themselves a Dinosaur Stomp! With illustrations by Scott Nash that leap off the page like a raptor doing the fandango, Carol Diggory Shields tells dinosaur devotees all about reptilian revelry in verses with a foot-tapping, tail-whacking beat.

This fun dinosaur book can be used in speech therapy to address vocabulary and sequencing. It is also great for a variety of verbs and for /s/, /d/, /n/ and /or/ sounds!
