Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Kirkus Reviews
Dinosaur fans will instantly warm to this friendly prehistoric duo and their endearing playmates. In simple, colorful, and accessible illustrations, Most (Hippopotamus Hunt, 1994, etc.) depicts a day in the life of a pair of protoceratops as they learn and play in preschool, celebrate birthdays, and glumly work through a punishment doled out by a stern father. The pair sweetly share everything, from their pals, to household chores. The clever connection of events will hold youngsters' interests while they practice the tongue-twisting phrases with the letter P. The author also subtly points out the true meaning of a pair, with the numerals 1 and 2 prominently portrayed on nearly every page. The highlight, however, is Most's pink-and-purple palette, which is playful and perfectly pleasing to the eye. (Picture book. 2-6) -- Copyright ©1998, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.
Review
For preschoolers bitten by the dinosaur bug, this book will certainly appeal. The author takes the reader through a range of activities the Protoceratops engage in, ranging from "packing for preschool" to "peeling potatoes". This book may be useful to draw children's attention to alliteration and the similarities in the beginning sounds of words on each page. In this respect, the companion book, A Trio of Triceratops would be useful as well. The illustrations support the text nicely. (Children's Literature )
