Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 2-Mary Blackwood's rhyming story (Lerner, 1990) features Derek, a dinosaur who would rather knit than be ferocious. When the climate grows steadily colder and his dinosaur brothers shiver and complain, Derek comes to the rescue with woolly clothes for them. The lesson is clear-there is room for difference, and Derek's unreptilian skills turn out to be a treasure. Kerry Argent's illustrations add charm and humor to the story. This audio version is top-notch, with clear voice changes for characters, but without extra embellishments that might detract from the simplicity of the story. This package will delight young listeners and beginning readers.

5.0 out of 5 stars
great kid's story,
By A Customer
This review is from: Derek the Knitting Dinosaur (Paperback)
This terrific kids book is about Derek, a sort of nerdy dinosaur who hangs out in the house all day knitting while his macho brothers reak havoc on the earth. Lucky for Fang and Fearless (the brothers Macho), Derek has plenty of warm woolen things to wear when the earth's climate changes. Derek saves them from extinction with his knitting hobby! My two year old really thinks that some dinosaurs knew how to knit!
