This books is not about dinosaur poems, but a dinosaur that writes poems. Are dinosaurs good poets? In the frogs opinion, no. Or is he just trying to not get eaten in the process? Follow this duo as they navigate writing the most epic poem!

Educator review:
1. Fun and engaging book for talking about onomatopoeia: skronk, growl, snap, bellow, grunt are just a few examples.
2. Shows how to begin writing poetry. Where to start? What topic? Does it need to rhyme?
3. Gives different POV: learn about how poems mean differently things to others. While one person/frog/dinosaur may find a poem scary, another reader may find it pretty!
4. Different poetry types: rhyming, epic, limericks, haiku
5. Poems focus on all the senses: feeling, touching, tasting, smelling, hearing
NOTE: goes into gross and silly poems (poo-etry)!

1st grader review: I love the gross humor. It’s silly and I like being silly. (Proceeds to write gross poetry).

3rd grader review: thought it was fun and engaging. Liked he tips about writing poems and wanted to learn about the different poetry type (limericks and haikus).

Thank you @Net Galley and ABRAMS Kids for the advanced digital copy.

Not for me, but this is not my preferred kind of children's book. The comic was quick, goofy, and full of dinosaurs, so kids will likely enjoy it.

A rollicking way to teach students about different types of poetry, with humorous examples included. Delightful illustrations and dinosaur fun facts are an added bonus!

This book opens with a dinosaur sharing a poem they wrote about eating a frog. In response, the clever frog takes the dinosaur on a series of adventures, introducing various styles of poetry and exploring different subjects along the way. This engaging story would be a wonderful resource for teachers looking to introduce poetry and creative writing to early elementary students.
