Shea, Bob. Dinosaur vs. bedtime, New York, N.Y. : Hyperion Books, 2010.
Bob Shea offers readers another fun story about his irrespressible red roaring dinosaur. During the day we see Dinosaur: pounce on a pile of leaves, traverse a large slide, devour a plate of spaghetti and tolerate talking grown-ups. He ends each encounter with a victorious "Dinosaur wins again!" However, bedtime presents a more difficult challenge and we find Dinosaur surrendering - his roar becomes a whisper and finally we read "Bedtime wins. Good night, Dinosaur." Shea combines mixed-media illustations that combine photo collage with dynamic cartoon-like drawings bursting with colour and energy. This book is suitable as an interactive read-aloud. (Age 3-5 years, Themes - Appropriate behaviour at bedtime and creative play)
