"Longer than a tennis court.
Bigger than a barge.
I never knew a lizard
Could ever be so large."
Filled with those prehistoric creatures that continue to intrigue and enchant so many youngsters, Doug Florian has created a compendium of verse to honor these mighty animals. Each full page spread introduces one type of giant lizard and provides a quick glimpse at what is so special about it. As is usual with his poetry, there is brilliant wordplay and fun facts, well researched and always appealing. Pronunciation is provided and a Glossarysaurus following the poems adds to already presented particulars. Enhancing that is a list of dinosaur museums and fossil sites, a selected bibliography, Here you have another amazing book from the heart and head of a clever rhymester.
