От издателя
Once upon a prehistoric time . . . One woolly baby trumpets with mother mammoth.Two flying reptiles soar with mom pteranodon.Three toothy kittens snarl with mother sabertooth. Set to the classic counting rhyme "Over in the Meadow," Brenda Huante's catchy text makes a perfect read-aloud, and illustrator Vincent Nguyen's adorable dinosaurs and early mammals are simply irresistible.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals take center stage in Huante's debut, a counting book that riffs on the "Over in the Meadow" rhyme. A mother T. rex and her "terrible rexes six" shake the earth with their "booms"; a mother triceratops munches vines with "her frilly little nine"; and a maisaur urges her babies to crack through their shells: " Hatch!' said the mother. We hatch!' said the ten./ So they hatched and they cuddled in their nest in a glen." Nguyen (Buzz) creates gentle dinosaur families that almost look like they've been molded from clay; their softly rounded features should appeal to toddlers not yet ready for more realistic dinosaurs. Ages 3 up.
