Paul, Ruth. Stomp!: a dinosaur follow-the-leader story, Auckland, N.Z. : Scholastic, 2011.
Author/illustrator Ruth Paul offers a delightful account of dinosaurs at play. A group of young dinosaurs enjoy playing "follow the leader" as they stomp, jump and roar! through the jungle. The baby of the group imitates his elder playmates and works hard at keeping up; eventually he becomes the leader, and finally finds rest safe with Mum. Paul's text is minimal and effortlessly describes the rough and tumbles involved in youngsters' play. Her illustrations are a combination of bright colours and soft shades which add ironic humour and detail, thus perfectly complementing the text. (Age 3-5 years, Theme - Creative play)
