Summary
Fun sound words and cute baby dinosaurs combine for a delightfully interactive read-aloud romp
Deep in the forest is a nest full of eggs. But what could be inside? With picks, pokes, pops, and wriggles, a gaggle of baby triceratops hatches. They are quick to scamper and scramble about under Mother Triceratops’ careful eye—but watch out! There’s a big tyrannosaurus rex out in the lush Creataceous forest. With mother’s fierce protection to keep them safe, the little dinosaurs can settle in for a much-needed nap.
Full of onomatopoeic text that will delight young listeners and readers alike, this fun and frolicsome story from lauded visual artist and author Karen Patkau is a treat for the youngest dinosaur fans.
