Clarke, Jane & Wildish, Lee. Dancing with the dinosaurs, Watertown, Mass. : Charlsesbridge, 2012.
Jane Clarke and Lee Wildish present readers with a very funny story based on a popular TV show. Dancing with the Dinosaurs is set in a theatre where the emcee (Master of Ceremonies) is a toothy T-rex and the judges are small, unassuming dinosaurs. Dressed in glorious costumes the contestants present their favourite dance moves, side-stepping piles of poo and ignoring the gradual disappearance of the judges. Finally, the emcee makes his real intentions known. Clarke's rhyming text is kept to a minimum making the pacing quick and lively while the tone is exuberatnt. Wildish provides cartoon-like illustrations bursting with colour and movement. (Age 3-7 years, Themes - Creative play and dancing)
