What's Everybuggy Reading: Spider
My Teacher is a Dinosaur
written and illustrated by Loreen Leedy
Marshall Cavendish Children, 2010
I laughed myself silly reading the poem "Back-to-School Sale" in this month's Spider (page 32). It's about a clothing sale for dinosaurs—they have shirts with room for spikes and pants with holes for tails. Just imagine how big those clothes would be! That got my giggles going. Then I pictured tiny little Thistle wearing the giant dino-clothes, and I TOTALLY lost it—I rolled down a hill because I was laughing so hard!
Who knew dino-comedy could be so awesome? Lucky for me, I found this AMAZING/HILARIOUS book of prehistoric poems, jokes, riddles, and facts. I learned that dinosaurs ruled the world about 150-200 million years ago. The Brachiosaurus dinosaur could reach up to 50 feet tall; it was one of the tallest dinosaurs to ever walk the earth!
But what makes this book the cream of the crop is all the dynamic dino-jokes! Here’s one for you: Why did T-Rex eat the teacher? Because he was hungry for knowledge!
Now, if you'll please excuse me: this Spider has some very serious laughing to do.
