Dinosnore!

 
Bendall-Brunello, John. Dinosnore!, London : Andersen Press, 2009.
 
Author/illustrator John Bendall-Brunello offers readers a humorous, heart warming story about three unruly, young dinosaurs who try to awaken their mother from her sleep.  When she wakes up she rises to her full height, roars and light-heartedly chases her little ones.  Bendall-Brunello is an award winning illustrator and in this area he shines.  The watercolour cartoons are colourful and bursting with movement and humour.  The text is sparse consisting of three-word phrases punctuated by the occasional exclamation mark.  Emerging readers will enjoy the repetition and easy to read words.  (Age 3-5 years, Theme - Mother's love for her youngsters)
