Dinosaurs Galore!


Dinosaurs Galore! is a book written by Giles Andreae and David Wojtowycz. 
Previous books written by the creators of this book include: Rumble in the Jungle, The Lion Who Wanted to Love and Commotion in the Ocean.  
The story takes the reader on a journey through the swampland to meet all the favourite dinosaurs known to children. They introduce the reader to T-Rex, Triceratops, Brontosaurus, Stegosaurus and more.   
The authors use the rhyming technique to engage the reader in an interesting way of reading by using it at the end of line 2 and line 4.  
Phonetic guides appear beneath each species name to help with pronunciation and the cartoon illustrations are absolutely gorgeous and enhance the humour of the text.
Younger children would absolutely love this book, especially those children obsessed with dinosaurs. From my own experience, one of my students diagnosed with autism loves this book and reads and re-reads this book!  
This book would be excellent to use in the classroom as well, if looking at dinosaurs or rhyming as there are some fantastic examples throughout the book.
