(Paperback - Spanish-language Edition)
Los dinosaurios, como los niños, pueden dar las buenas noches a sus padres de modos muy distintos. Pueden por ejemplo dar besos y abrazos. O acomodarse en sus pequeñas camitas y mover sus grandes colas en son de despedida mientras apagan la luz. O negarse a dormir hasta que no les cuenten un cuento más. Pueden incluso volar por la habitación jugando con su osito de peluche, pero eso no es necesariamente lo que sus papás tienen en mente. En fin, un libro dulce, inteligente con hermosas ilustraciones y mucho humor para niños, mamás y papás a punto de ir a dormir.
PreS-Gr 2-What do dinosaurs do when it's time for bed? Do they scream and yell? Lash their tails? Ask for pony rides? The answer to each question in this sweet bedtime romp is a resounding "No!" Dinosaurs, it seems, want a kiss and a hug, a loving "Good night," and then it's off to sleep. Teague's big, bold, humorous illustrations make good use of the preposterous contrast between the huge, potentially frightening dinosaurs and their cozy bedrooms and calm human parents. The dinosaurs' patently human expressions of disgust and resistance at the dread news that it's bedtime will strike a familiar chord with young children. The translation retains the gentle rhyme of the English original, making this a solid read-aloud for home or library use. Good for story times or for that last tale before bed, this collaboration by Yolen and Teague is a winner.Ann Welton, Grant Center for the Expressive Arts, Tacoma, WA Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information.
