Great for story time! Imagine how much fun you and children will have shouting "roar, roar, roar" each time the dinossaur takes on a foe, like spaghetti. Spare, quick, fun. ( )

One of the quickest and most repetitive books that my kid loves, the repetition of the dinosaur's roaring delights him every time. ( )

File under: Why Amy is a good book recommender

Also: ROAR! ( )

You know how stories can be told in completely different ways by inflection, alone? Well this is a new story every time I read it to my daughter. Some parts get drawn out, embellished, and expanded. Others have a very humorous turn that reaches the pure and mighty heights of satire.

But mostly, it's all about the roars.

I honestly have a great time hamming this one up. I can be as loud and obnoxious as I want, and I don't even have to convert it into semi-clever turns of phrase.

Oh, the Joy!

Best of all, my daughter loves it.

And best for me, it's not a god awful dull piece of shit with shifty and/or incomprehensible morals that require a fucking PHD to unravel or 20 years as a practicing priest to find peace after reading it. Bonus!
