“Dinosaur Farm!” by Penny Dale is a picture book that has different dinosaurs running a farm. The dinosaurs are plowing, building, digging, and picking things. What a busy farm! The illustrations are bright and busy. The text does not rhyme, but has a bouncing cadence, and a lot of onomatopoeia like “clatter,” and “rumble.”

The front and back papers identify various dinosaurs and farm equipment, though many kids will probably already be experts in both subjects. The book is aimed at kids age 3 to 6 and would make a fun read-aloud. The story itself is fairly basic, so this book is not a must-buy for your library collection, but if you have extra money in the budget, it would make a good additional purchase.
