Super cute book for dinosaur-loving kids. Lots of fun rhymes with a unique story all while featuring tons (ha!) of different dinosaurs, making it a cool book for learning too. The illustrations are perfect - so colorful, fun, and appealing. My grandsons will love it!
The book starts with dinosaur footprints from the dance, making it a really great introduction to talking about trace fossils and fossilized footprints with small kids.
This book has been in my life since I was a little kid, and I'm currently in my fourth year of college. This book has helped me during a lot of sleepless nights, and it will always have a special place in my heart. My mom and I honestly still have most of the book memorized! I absolutely would recommend this book to any parent, and especially ones that have kids that are into dinosaurs; it is a cute and fun read.
I'm reading this to my K kids on Wednesday and we are going to have fun making a Kindergarten stomp with music and movement. It's a great 10 minute little activity kids can do to get their wiggles out. The Dino names are kind of hard to pronounce so make sure to practice this book a few times before you read it to your kids!!!
This is a cute book that I can imagine younger boys would be excited about. There is this fascination with dinosaurs and what they were like. This book is a glimpse into the past. I wonder what it would have been like to be at the dinosaur stomp?
WELL THAT WAS FUN. Really, you never truly grow out of your dinosaur phase. 10/10 would have loved this as a kid, and 10/10 love it as an adult.
While some readers have complained that it doesn't have any "purpose," I argue that not ALL kids books HAVE to teach a Moral Lesson--sometimes they can just be fun books about having a party, dancing around, and having fun! I saw this was assigned for a Music/Movement for Young Kids class at a local college and I think the story fits a class like that perfectly--it encourages kids to make up their own Dino Stomp dance, while also just being a fun story!
(Also, most of the dino names are real.. I think there were only one or two that were fakes.)
I love this book. The pictures are bright and colorful. It rhymes. It also covers a lot of different dinosaur names, which would be great for kids who love dinosaurs. I love the rhymes and the different descriptive song and dance words. I really enjoyed this book!
