This Step into Reading Step 1 book features dinosaurs that escape from a book to frolic through a school library while a young boy and the librarian watch bemusedly (“Dinos dancing in a book. Dinos leaping, look, look, look!”). Young children will be amused by their silly antics in the classroom - erasing blackboards, spilling things, and generally creating a mess (“Dinos pasting red and blue. Dinos wasting paint and glue!”).
The text is rhythmic and joyous, and the dinosaurs are non-threatening, turning out to be rather well-meaning in spite of the havoc they wreak. The book is simple and fun and will certainly help to build a beginning reader's confidence in their reading skills. The illustrations are fine, although not particularly outstanding.
