Review: Dinosaurs from Head to Tail by Stacey Roderick

23621665
From one dinosaur's head to another's tail, this informational picture book challenges readers to guess which prehistoric creature each of eight different body parts belongs to. (For example, "What dinosaur had claws like this?") For each question, the answer is given on the following spread, with an overview that includes the name of the dinosaur, an illustration of the entire animal in its habitat and facts about the featured body part, such as why it looked the way it did and how scientists believe it was used. The colorful and eye-catching collage illustrations by Kwanchai Moriya offer a unique and friendly approach to the ever-popular subject of dinosaurs. The creatures are a mix of the popular (Tyrannosaurus) and the lesser-known (Therizinosaurus) and allow children the satisfaction of guessing some correctly while learning about others. A pronunciation guide accompanies the first mention of each dinosaur's name. There is also a bonus spread at the end of the book containing a quick look at seven more intriguing dinosaurs. Balancing a captivating picture book experience with just the right level of information, it is an ideal bridge between a basic concept book and a detailed encyclopedic book. It would work perfectly in a group lesson on prehistoric creatures or on animal bodies, with the highly engaging, interactive guessing-game component providing a way of enlivening the classroom discussion. It could also be used individually by higher-level readers as an interesting nonfiction choice or a reference book.

We received this book to give an honest review.

A and I actually read this before bed and she seemed to enjoy the story.
This is a great book about sharing, and is great for the younger kiddos. 
You have Ella who has all these toys and doesn't want to share with her friends. But when she sees her friends playing without her she asks herself was she nice, should she share? It is something that all kids go through they have all these toys but sometimes do not like to share. We watch as Ella learns a lesson that she should share with her friends and not only will she be happy but so will her friends.
The pictures were very colorful and kept the attention of my two year old.
