Summary

Fun sound words and cute baby dinosaurs combine for a delightfully interactive read-aloud romp

Deep in the forest is a nest full of eggs. But what could be inside? With picks, pokes, pops, and wriggles, a gaggle of baby triceratops hatches. They are quick to scamper and scramble about under Mother Triceratops' watchful eye--but careful! There's a big tyrannosaurus rex out in the lush Creataceous forest. With mother's fierce protection to keep them safe, the little dinosaurs can settle in for a much-needed nap.

Full of onomatopoeic text that will delight young listeners and readers alike, this fun and frolicsome story from lauded visual artist and author Karen Patkau is a treat for preschool and kindergarten dinosaur fans

Kirkus Review

Triceratops babies have an eventful day after first hatching.Tucked away on the forest floor is a clutch of eggs. Readers can see tiny cracks beginning to form. Sounds jostle from the pages: "Tap-tap. Peck-peck. Crack. Crack. Crack." After some picking and poking, out tumble triceratops babies! They "wriggle-wriggle" and "S-T-R-E-T-C-H" as they gain their footing and look at the world around them for the first time. What do these babies want to do? Eat, of course! "Chomp-chomp. Munch-munch. Gulp-gulp-gulp." But suddenly, a loud "ROARRR!" interrupts their meal. A T. Rex is coming. "Thud-thud. Thud-thud. Stomp. Stomp. Stomp." The tiny babies don't know what to do. Luckily, their mother is close by. Never underestimate the protective nature of a mother, even a reptilian one. The layered greens and muted browns of the digital background highlight the tiny red mouths of the babies, who are continuously crying, biting, or yawningand making a whole lot of noise. Although the dinosaur sounds may be hypothetical (Would they "cheep?" Did they "bellowww?"), dino fans will delight in this onomatopoeic romp. Extra information about other dinosaurs found throughout the story is appended at the end.Fill your storytime with prehistoric sound.
