DINOSAUR DANCES Illustrated by Bruce Degan Putnams 1990 ISBN# 0-399-21629-4 Putnams hardcover ISBN# 0-399-21629-4 Putnams paperback

When they were little, my boys both loved dinosaurs so much, I embroidered dinosaur pillows for them. (I am NOT good at needlework.) When they were teenagers, I wrote this book. Go figure! The poems range from a dinosaur rock-and-roll band to a dinosaur waltz to a dinosaur square dance. Degan's illustrations are rollicking. The book was a Junior Library Guild selection and every single poem has been set to music by one musician or another, my favorites being those Lui Collins did on a recent album.
