I Dreamt I Was a Dinosaur

I Dreamt I Was A Dinosaur by Stella Blackstone, illustrated by Clare Beaton 2005

A small blue Diplodocus dinosaur cavorts across each page of this creatively illustrated story. He meets dinosaurs of every size and color. Some are foraging on button flowers, watching their babies hatch out of felt eggs, or running past a sequined volcano spewing lava. The simple text moves at a good pace, and still manages to introduce many kinds of dinosaurs. Don’t forget to find the snail hidden on each double-page spread.

The back of the book provides a reminder of each dinosaur friend in the story with a pronunciation guide, and brief facts included.

Appropriate for ages 3-6

Thank you so much. I've just taken a look at your nice review.

Although I don't write the stories in these fabric collage books I usually write the
non story part at the back. I enjoy this as I have written and illustrated many craft
and activity books for children ( but not in fabric collage ) and like the challenge of writing
simply and clearly on subjects such as castles, pyramids and football!

My latest books have been for babies so not much call for writing there.

I am currently working on a range of games, jigsaws and greeting cards etc for a card
company.

Best Wishes, Clare
