One-Osaurus, Two-Osaurus - by Kim Norman

Book Synopsis

"Storytime and read-aloud gold. . . . A dino-delight." --Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

One-osaurus, two-osaurus, three-osaurus, four . . .

Look there, in a child's bedroom, where some prehistoric pals are gathered in a counting game. Nine dinosaurs are playing a singsong rendition of hide-and-seek--but something isn't adding up. Where is number ten? Stomp, stomp, stomp! CHOMP, CHOMP, CHOMP! Ready or not, here he comes, and he sounds . . . big! With bold numerals, an array of dinosaurs in comical poses, and a humorous twist at the end, this tribute to a child's imagination makes learning numbers a gigantic treat.

Review Quotes

Norman's latest outing and first collaboration with Collet-Derby is storytime and read-aloud gold, featuring as it does a tight, patterned rhyme, an artful use of page turns, and a mighty "ROAR!" midstream--not to mention lots of dinosaurs...A dino-delight.
