Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-K?A simple rhyme to tickle the fancy of the youngest dino fans. "Dinosaur roar,/dinosaur squeak,/dinosaur fierce,/ dinosaur meek..." Whether weak or strong, fast or slow, etc., these colorful, slightly daft-looking creatures introduce a series of opposites as they parade across the double-page spreads. And where are the beasts marching? To eat their lunch "gobble, gobble, nibble, nibble, munch, munch, scrunch!" While the appealing watercolors are not scientifically accurate enough to suit avid dinosaurians, these prehistoric monsters are just perfect for the preschool crowd. A natural for story time.?Virginia Opocensky, formerly at Lincoln City Libraries, NE

From Booklist
Ages 3-5. Dinosaurs are the gimmick here, not really the subject. The subjects are, first, antonyms--such as above/below and weak/strong--and then lunch. The paired dinosaurs, in a goofy array of pastels, are almost all smiling, even when the rhyme insists they're "grumpy"--so when they settle down to a lunch with (and not of) each other, the end is satisfying. The pictures and swingy short verses will make this a good group read-aloud, even for the very young. Mary Harris Veeder

More About the Author
Paul Stickland is the author, illustrator and pop up engineer of many, many children's books, including Dinosaur Roar!, The Christmas Bear, Santa's Workshop, Big Dig, One Bear One Dog, Truck Jam, A Number of Dinosaurs, Dinosaurs Galore, Monkey Business, Ten Terrible Dinosaurs, Bears! and many, many more...
I am based in the ancient town of Sherborne, Dorset, in England.
I have six children, Rowan, Felix, Gus, Kit, Arthur and Tabitha.
For the past few years, despite a rigorous publishing schedule, I have spent as much time as I can out on the road, giving inspirational talks and fun drawing and pop-up workshops to children (and their parents!) in schools, libraries and literary festivals, from Edinburgh, Cheltenham and Glastonbury.
I have worked in the UK, Italy and America, in a great diversity of settings, the more challenging the better!
The visits start with the simplest of readings, through explanations of the process of creating and producing a children's book, to drawing workshops and hands on pop-up workshops. I am happy to work with all sizes of groups. I have found working with children with special needs to be particularly rewarding.
I am a passionate advocate for the world of children's books and as the years pass, I have become more and more drawn to working with and empowering young children to expand their creativity through this magical world.

5.0 out of 5 stars
My daughter's first favorite book,
By
This review is from: Dinosaur Roar! Board Book (Board book)
This was the first book my daughter ever fell in love with.She was around nine months old, and she just loved the bright picturesand the rhymes and rhythms of the simple but interesting words. She especially loved the last page, where the dinosaurs start eating the book -- we usually tickled her like a dinosaur was nibbling on her, and she just laughed and laughed. Although she's moved on to other favorites, it's a rare night that "Dinosaur Roar" doesn't get added to the stack of books she wants read to her at bedtime.

One of my simple favorites!,
By
This review is from: Dinosaur Roar! Board Book (Board book)
It's short but does a lot!Each spread features a simple comparision of 2 different dinosaurs. It's a simple book of opposites that feature vibrant water color illustrations that are wonderfully painted to illustrate the comparision concepts. "Dinosaur clean, dinosaur slimmy." "Dinosaur fit, dinosaur fat." "Dinosaur short or very very long." spiky / lumpy etc.etc. It rhymes comfortably throughout. I've taken my examples out of order. But that's the idea of comparing opposites. The fierce dinosaur is smaller than the meek one which is huge! That's an interesting juxtaposition, much like in real life! I love it for the simple comparison of opposites with fun visuals!

ROAR!!!,
By
This review is from: Dinosaur Roar! Board Book (Board book)
My 14 month old LOVES this book! When he saw it for the first time he picked it up and ROARED at the dinosaur on the cover. We have to take this book with us when we visit Grandma's or go out for any length of time, and he has to have it read to him at least once a day. This is his favorite book.
