"Dino-basketball"
(published March 2011)

written by Lisa Wheeler, illustrated by Barry Gott

Description:
When the carnivorous Meat face the herbivorous Grass Clippers, rims are sure to rattle! Ally-oops and rejections are the orders of the day as the dinos play a fast-paced full-court game. No one can establish a lead as the final seconds tick by. The fans are getting tense, and there's a championship on the line. Which dino will step up and take it to the hoop? This exciting follow-up to Dino-Hockey, Dino-Soccer, and Dino-Baseball is sure to thrill dinosaur and sports lovers alike.

My thoughts...
The team that brought us Dino-Baseball, -Soccer and -Hockey (2010, 2009, 2007) this time delivers nothing but net. . .This fourth book in the series will be adored by sports fans of all ages - especially for children who love sports & dinosaurs!

The book is so much fun to read aloud since it is written in rhyming stanzas on each page. The illustrations are so much fun to look at - very colorful, bright, and exciting! The text is very fast paced, fun, and it really makes you feel like you are there in person watching the game! I cannot wait to read the next book about...football!

I would recommend this book to boys or girls, basketball/sports lovers, and of course dinosaur lovers! This would be perfect for any family with little ones, and/or an elementary classroom. If you are interested in buying this book, click on the title (link) of the book above and buy it on Amazon!
