Dino-Swimming

The  Land Sharks (carnivores) are in a swimming competition with the Algae Eaters (herbivores).  They compete in several pool events from swimming to diving.  Told in rhyme, the various dinosaurs strut their stuff.  Some names are shortened to fit the rhyme, but dino-fans will love the realistic action.  As the dinosaurs compete, many experience mannerisms as most kids – making mistakes, bragging, pouting, being nervous, etc., as they  join in energetic performances.  Illustrations are large, colorful, and stylized.  The Land Shark uniforms are red, while the Algae Eaters are green.  Even the names of each dinosaur are either red or green to help identify the teams.  In this book, the Land Sharks win the meet.  However, reader can follow their competitions in other dino-sporting events y Lisa Wheeler.  Illustrations are colorful and lively.
