內容簡介:
In
each playful spread of this read-aloud bedtime book, parents are
ready to put their kids to bed — but these youngsters just happen
to be dinosaurs!And though they may stomp and slam their
tails a bit, in the end they act a lot like people:
they give a big kiss, turn out the light, and whisper "good
night."
In a few simple lines of verse on each spread, fathers and
mothers are ready to put their youngsters to bed. But in this book,
the youngsters are a wide variety of dinosaurs. And how do
dinosaurs say good night?
Filled with wonderful detail and humor, children and their
parents will love the expressions and antics of the eleven
different dinosaur children depicted here, and each species is
spelled out somewhere in the young dinosaur''s bedroom. In the end,
young dinosaurs behave a lot like people do: They give a big kiss,
turn out the light, tuck in their tails, and whisper "good
night."
