After seeing how much my students love this book, I felt inclined to write a review! My boys go CRAZY for dinosaur books, insisting we read every one we come across. I'm not kidding when I say we've read dozens and dozens, so it really says something when I say The Rebirth of Dino Earth by Patt Hatt has been by far one of their favorites! It's usually my boys that love books about dinosaurs, but all my students, boys and girls, love this book. They love the silly Dino characters, a rapping raptor and a T-rex doing the Disco, and they get beyond excited by the idea of Dinosaurs returning to Earth to live among us.Personally, I was extremely impressed by the creative plot. Dinosaurs continuing to exist in an alien zoo and then escaping to return to earth, how awesome it that?! I've read more than my fair share of boring and generic children's books, so the unique premise on which this story was written made it a delight. I also really like that the story rhymes. I've been able to turn this book into a learning experience by having my students identify the rhyming words. It's great that my students can work on improving their reading and spelling skills while enjoying a wonderful story. I highly recommend this book for parents and teachers alike!
