I chose this book simply because it had a dinosaur on
the front cover and as a kid I was really into dinosaurs. The book is about a team of plant-eating
dinosaurs who play a baseball game against the meat-eating dinosaurs. The Sox
are the plant-eating dinosaurs and the Ribs are the meat-eating dinosaurs.
The
illustrations in this book are very creative.
The colors are very bright and will stand out to children. It is very hard for me to decide what medium the illustrator
used on the drawings. It looks like some of them could have been painted or even
computer generated. The background in the picture is very detailed.
This book would be good to used with
children who are in second, third, or fourth grade. The book would be good to read to children
when doing a science lesson about dinosaurs, because the book mentions the
different kinds of dinosaurs that are on the team. This book would also be good
to use when talking about rhymes. The
book if full of rhyming words. The book
would also be good to use to strengthen vocabulary comprehension, because it contains many words that are not usually
used in everyday conversations. The book has not received any awards.
