Dinosaurs Roar, written by Steve Jenkins, reviewed by Judy Hauser

Summary: This is a very short, well-illustrated book on dinosaurs for the pre-k set. The sturdy board pages each illustrate a dinosaur and offer a fact for that particular dinosaur. And each page flips out to extend the illustration featured. For example, one page shows a dinosaur with the text "dinosaurs reach!" When the page extension is flipped over you see, "Titanosaurus lived 70 million years ago. It was one of the largest animals that ever walked the earth." Young children should enjoy the colorful illustrations, extensions, dinosaurs and facts. 

Straight Talk for Librarians: A colorful look at dinosaurs for the very young set. I would think they would like the book and enjoy the illustrations. The long, difficult dinosaur names may be an issue but the book is short, colorful and fun so that probably does not matter.
