About this book
It’s time to do the dinosaur! Are you ready?
Tom has got his dino costume on and gathered his friends together for a dino dance through the jungle. To do the dinosaur, you have to swish your tail, stomp your feet and – perhaps most importantly – ROAR!
Uh-oh, wait a minute. The friends are having so much fun and making so much noise, they’ve attracted the attention of the T-Rex… Time to run! Luckily the T-Rex just wants to join in and show off his own stomping skills. And he’s a natural, of course!
123 Do the Dinosaur is bright and fun, combining actions and story to create a joyous reading experience that little ones (and big ones) won’t be able to resist joining in with. The rhyme and rhythm are superb, with words like swish and rumble, jiggle and wriggle that make it perfect to read aloud.
