Review
This is another sports and dinosaur mash up from the Wheeler and Gott team that will race off the shelf at high octane speed due to the topics of cars and dinosaurs. In rhyming text, with colored fonts that identify specific dinosaurs, drag racing, dune buggy racing, stock car racing are illustrated with brightly colored Claymation looking dinosaurs. Each page is busy and action packed. One drag racer is a female driver. Adult readers will get a chuckle from the numerous puns in all the product advertising on the car sponsors such as "Primordial Soup", "Plantzoil" and "Dinotel". Perfect for a sports themed story time.
Overall Book Score: good
