"Eight-osaurus,
nine-osaurus
scurry to the herd.
Something's coming -
something big!
No one say a word!"
It's early morning and the dinosaurs are keen to get themselves involved in a 'counting game'. One by one they repeat the patterned refrain. They have completed their counting up to seven when there is a problem ...
ROAR!!!
8 and 9 are in a panic and seek comfort with the first seven of their friends. Perhaps being with the 'herd' will calm their fears.
"Ready or not, here I come!"
Far too scared to stick around and see what's coming, they all take off at a run. Finding a quiet place, they hide themselves behind their numbers. Something is getting closer! They do their best to be invisible. They are in for a BIG surprise! Likewise, for little readers who are sure to react with great delight, and want to be a part of the next game the herd dreams up.
Kids will love the counting practice, and have the opportunity to practice their numbers more than once. The rhythmic text and clever illustrations carry readers quickly through the movement-filled book. The dinosaurs are appealing and colorful, and the hiding will produce giggles.
Wait until you learn what their new game will be! I wonder if we might see it in print at some point in time.
