 | "Colorful, artistic illustrations and a thoughtful text accompany each dinosaur poem. The book is a wonderful addition to any child or school's collection.” |
- Nancy Lewis, expert in early childhood education and author of Count-a-Saurus (Alladin, 1992)
| "Beautiful
illustrations and whimsical poems lead readers on a wonderful exploration of
prehistory, all of which can be summarized by that all-important word: FUN.
With
Dinosaur Name Poems, Steven Cunningham has produced a delightful
introduction to a host of prehistoric beasts! The illustrations are colorful
and engaging, while a glossary and a section containing brief bios of the
creatures closes the book perfectly. Also welcome is the inclusion of
Spanish text throughout. As the scientific consultant for the book, I am
more than proud to have my name associated with the final product."
- Dr. Richard A. Kissel, paleontologist and Director of
Teacher Programs at the Paleontological
Research Institution of Ithaca, NY

| "Thank you to Steven Clark Cunningham, for his boyhood soul and for bringing us, children and grown-ups alike, the fascinating world of our dinosaur friends. The pages in this book are filled with innocence, beauty, and wisdom – the wisdom of transforming poetry into adventure." |
- Susana Oviedo, school teacher, Vitoria, Spain
| "Stevosaurus Cunningham is a witty and entertaining writer who is keenly in touch with both dinosaurs and children and what they must think of each other. We bought 5 books with the intention of sharing, yet we have kept them all- for the car, diaper bag, nanny's house, downstairs and upsatirs. My little girl loves the book!" |
- Dr. Erica Sutton, clinical fellow, Minimally Invasive Surgery, University of Maryland

"I really like all of the poems and the artwork.
I really like how the poems rhyme and how I learn something about
dinosaurs from them.”
- Sophia Matricciani, grade-school-aged child |

| "All of the poems have a great roll-along sound and bouncy rhythm, characterizing thirty dinosaurs from Allosaurus to Velociraptor as they play on the meaning of the etymology of the ancient animal's name. This will unquestionably engage kids ... Supporting the thirty poems are Valeska M. Populoh's laugh-out-loud animated illustrations with their brilliant texture and wonderful palette of colors, notably red, green and blue that are well matched to the text." |
- Norm Goldman, Publisher & Editor of Bookpleasure (Full review at The American Chronicle)
|
"A great introduction to etymology that will appeal to kids on
several different levels.”
