Bookroo's summary

In a prehistoric world where dinosaurs seek fun, they gather for a Saturday night dance party. As the Jurassic gang twists, twirls, and tromps, the air fills with the rhythm of a Dinosaur Stomp. With vibrant illustrations capturing their exuberant moves, this tale invites young readers to imagine the lively revelry of these ancient creatures. What surprises await when the dinosaurs let loose and dance the night away?

From the publisher

Children will enjoy the lively verse and exuberant artwork. – School Library Journal Have you ever wondered what the dinosaurs did for fun? What really happened when the Jurassic gang wanted to let off some steam? They danced, of course! They rocked and rolled, they twirled and tromped! They had themselves a Dinosaur Stomp! With illustrations by Scott Nash that leap off the page like a raptor doing the fandango, Carol Diggory Shields tells dinosaur devotees all about reptilian revelry in verses with a foot-tapping, tail-whacking beat.
