Filled with descriptive language, the text offers numerous synonyms for each activity...The bouncy, rhyming language is enhanced by bright watercolor-and-crayon illustrations that create a wonderful sense of movement. One picture shows the happy dinosaur jumping into a swamp; brown mud splashes cross over to the opposite page where he is shown again, no longer smiling and buried in the slime. An entertaining and painless way for children to broaden their vocabulary while enjoying a fun story.
