Penny Dale has the best dino books!!! ( )

Dinosaur Rocket is about a group of dinosaurs who blast off into space aboard an actual rocket ship. I love the concept of this simple book because it combines two things that kids adore: dinosaurs and rocket ships. The wording is simple and repetitive, allowing kids to get into the flow of the book easily. Each page details the next step in the astronaut dinosaur's mission. The end of the book teaches kids all about the very real machinery the dinosaurs used to get to and from space. I love reading aloud from interactive books, and the space countdown to blast-off in the middle of the book always gets a big participation response from kids. ( )
