"It's a roaring reading party! Pass out the sparkly beads, put on the catchy Mardi Gras tunes, and let the kids CHOMP! CHOMP! and STOMP! STOMP! to the infectious beat of Dinosaur Mardi Gras. A perfect read-aloud!"
-John Schumacher, school librarian, founder of MrSchuReads.com, and 2011 Library Journal Mover & Shaker
It's Carnival time in New Orleans! So get ready to stomp, chomp, and boogie to that mambo beat. As the parade rolls down the route, Brachiosaurus tosses his beads, while Triceratops sings the blues and Spinosaurus taps his blue suede shoes.
The big beasts boom and bop to the shouts of "Throw me something, mister!" from the crowd below. Rex, King of Carnivores, takes center stage, roaring through the crowds.
This festive book, full of flamboyant illustrations, includes a glossary and instructions for creating a Mardi Gras float. Laissez les bon temps rugir! Let the good times roar!
