I Wanna Be a Great Big Dinosaur by Heath McKenzie

This is the perfect story for a little boy or girl who loves pretending to be a dinosaur.  I Wanna Be a Great Big Dinosaur is for fans of Bob Shea's Dinosaur Vs. series and Jane Yolen's How Do Dinosaurs...books.  A little boy learns first hand from a dinosaur how to roar, stomp, and EAT, and then turns around and teaches the dinosaur a few tricks of his own.  The illustrations are gorgeous - a cute rumpled little boy in a homemade dinosaur costume, accompanied by a little T Rex.  The nature of this galley made it a little difficult to get the whole picture with some of these illustrations, but I got the gist.  (Not to mention the little treat on the last set of endpapers.)  I will definitely purchase this for my library when it comes out.
