dinosaur wins!

This book is ridiculous! The only reason I'm even talking about it is for the illustrations. I read it with a first-grader who was behind in reading, and he really liked it. Probably because 95% of the text is the word 'roar'. Dinosaur vs. Bedtime chronicles a little red dinosaur as he stalls before bed. He battles a number of inanimate objects (pile of leaves, bowl of spaghetti) and wins! How surprising. Eventually though, bedtime gets the better of him and he's shown passed out. This book is funny, if only for the illustrations. They're bold, bright, and interesting. Bob Shea blends real photos into his strangely full but sparse pictures in a, like, cutout pattern. The spaghetti in the drawn bowl is shaped like a pile of spaghetti but is cut out with real spaghetti placed behind it. Which probably makes no sense. Read the book. And if you can't, my first grade friend says it's also a TV show...what a world.
