There Were Dinosaurs Everywhere! by Howard Temperley

Given how many dinosaurs and topics were mentioned, you can tell how much effort the author put into this.

In There Were Dinosaurs Everywhere!, we are introduced to all sorts of land, air and water dinosaurs, as well as paleontologists.Įach dinosaur has a short poem and illustration just for them. Lots of kids go through 'dinosaur' phases, so I think this book could have a huge audience. This is a unique addition to children's books on dinosaurs, and it is sure to stand out from the others-those that simply don't have the same flair for telling a very popular story. Kline's illustrations are amusing and attractive. Temperley's verse is captivating and catchy Mr. This book contains much of the factual and historical information that a middle-school textbook on dinosaurs might contain, but the big difference between such textbooks and There Were Dinosaurs Everywhere! is that this is an instructional, educational book that no child (and perhaps many adults) will not want to put down. There Were Dinosaurs Everywhere!: A Rhyming Romp Through Dinosaur History is a fun-filled history of the many species of dinosaurs, their eras, interesting facts about them, why the age of dinosaurs came to an end, and a dinosaur timeline-all told in an appealing verse form that children from ages 5 to 12 will find informative, funny and unforgettable. Certainly, the vast differences between dinosaurs and humans probably account for the enthrallment-we are amazed that such 'mythical' creatures actually did exist. It is not hard to see why: these monstrous creatures dominated the earth in their day somewhat similarly to the way humans dominate the earth today. The phenomenon of the dinosaur is one that continues to fascinate people of all ages.
