Bumpus Jumpus Dinosaurumpus! Tony Mitton and Guy Parker-Rees

Bumpus Jumpus Dinosaurumpus (Orchard Picturebooks) - Guy Parker-Rees, Tony Mitton

Do you love words, both old and new? If so, Bumpus Jumpus Dinosaurumpus is a good book for you. You'll be the one with a "snip-snap grin" as you flip through the pages and practice your tail spin. If movement or sound is your delight, this one has both--no need to listen while sitting tight. Kinetic kids can shiver and loop as they let their inner dino out of the coop. The alliteration is pretty insane and almost every spread has a great refrain that readers will memorize and say by heart...just read the book once, that's a good start. There's one page, about a third of the way in, that reminds me of another book that left me with a grin: The Farmer's Away, Baa! Neigh!  Love the dino rumpus for the dino words, the flow of the sounds, or the review you've heard, but equal to all are the pictures you see, pictures by Guy Parker-Rees.  Pictures with colors bright, ending with dinos curled up tight...
