A play on the “Ten Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed” rhyme, this counting down tale of cavorting dinosaurs is sure to please both young readers and dinosaur-loving little ones. Young readers, most of whom are likely to be familiar with the countdown rhyme used here will find this colorfully illustrated, googly-eyed book captivating. An added bonus: following the rhyme, there's a short description of each of the dinosaurs mentioned in the ten verses.

"Earth Day Birthday" is a book that helps children identify the many different animals on this earth. Using a format similar o the song "Twelve Days of Christmas", it gives the children both name recognition, and beautiful illustrations of animals in their natural habitats. As for using this book in the classroom, I would have first grade students use this book to refer to what animal they would want to research at the library, and write a small response about.

This book would be good as a read aloud for lower elementary students. This book counts down 10 to 0 and uses the rhyming meter/pattern of "5 little monkeys jumping on a bed," to tell about different types of dinosaurs in a silly way.

This book was so cute.Instead of the three little pigs, its called the three little dinosaurs.
