Dino Dang Doodle
by Richard Stevenson

Children's and Young Teenagers Poetry
A comic collection of dinosaur poems for middle grade children and their parents? All the usual dinos on the block are here: T-Rex, Stegosaurus, Triceratops, Apatosaurus (with the right head!), and the rest; most are newer discoveries. Some are huge; some are tiny; some are smooth; some are spiny. Some slither; some dither. All like to show a little attitude in poems that run the gamut from free verse nonsense to dramatic monologues.
