Review
'A rhyming narrative and illustrations created using applique techniques take young children back to the time when dinosaurs roamed the earth...young children like the sort of verses they can easily join in with, and here the pictures communicate some more subtle information. And what fabulous, intricate pictures they are! ... The endnotes provide good quality information for the sharing adult, and include welcome speculation about the colours of the creatures and about their seeming sudden disappearance. I very much like the annotated picture summary which gives help with pronunciation as well as core facts about each dinosaur type.' --Books for Keeps

About the Author
On good days, Stella Blackstone lives east of the sun and west of the moon. On less good days, she lives at the bottom of a well. She finds ideas in all of these places and turns them into songs, poems and rhymes. She has read and written poetry for as long as she can remember, and her favourite books include Louis Untermeyer?s A Child's Treasury of Poetry, which was a constant companion throughout her childhood, Paolo Coelho's The Alchemist, everything by T.S. Eliot, and William Buck's translation of The Ramayana. She lives in southwest England, and enjoys walking and working in her garden as well as doing nothing whenever she has the chance. Clare Beaton worked at the BBC for eight years, illustrating on many children's television programmes. She is now highly sought-after creator of handcrafted children's picture books. Clare has had nearly fifty books published, including One Moose, Twenty Mice (Barefoot Books, 1998) and Mother Goose Remembers (Barefoot Books, 2000), both of which have attracted considerable praise
