One More Dino on the Floor

An energetic and colorful take on a counting book.  With rhyming text and fun word choice, one dino after another joins the dance floor.  “They hear a swish/What’s this?/One more?/One more dino on the floor,” prefaces the addition of each new dino until there are 9.  The last dino, a T. rex,  arrives with a stomp and a roar, making all the dinos, “quake and shake with fear.”  Not to worry, “the T. rex spins, stands on his toes.  He moonwalks, strikes a funky pose.”  Soon all 10 dinos are dancing together.

The repetitive text makes this a good read aloud, though the dance specific vocabulary makes it difficult for young readers to comprehend independently.
