Shea, Bob. Dinosaur vs. the library, New York, N.Y. : Hyperion Books, 2011.
In Dinosaur vs. the library Bob Shea places his roaring red dinosaur in an unusual setting (a library) and assigns him a difficult task (being quiet). On his way to the library Dinosaur encourages a cow, a group of baby chicks, a shy turtle and a sad owl to play in his roaring game: all join in and everyone wins! But as soon as he enters the library Dinosaur is asked to use his "inside roar". Dinosaur happily conforms but can he "not roar" for all of story time? Bob Shea's writing style is fast; his pacing is lively, his tone is energetic. His illustrations almost leap off the page with vivid colour and strong, black strokes. This book is suited to reading aloud and group participation. (Age 3-5 years, Theme - Appropriate behaviour in the library)
