PICTURE BOOKS
Mayo, Margaret

Stomp, Dinosaur, Stomp!

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Alex Ayliffe. Mayo highlights different dinosaurs through rhythmic descriptions including repeated verb patterns that emphasize the species’ behavioral characteristics: "Tough Ankylosaurus loved whack whack whacking, / tail-club swinging, battles winning..." The cut-paper collage illustrations favor bright, eye-catching colors and patterns over more realistic ones (the creatures' basic anatomies are accurate).
