Praise for Dino Poet

***STARRED REVIEW*** "[A] standout title pulling double duty as a compelling graphic novel and a poetry mentor text. Elementary school readers and their teachers will delight in this laugh-out-loud narrative lesson on ­poetry writing, or even pick it up just for fun."
School Library Journal

Budding poets in our own Cenozoic era will also find these simple prehistoric precepts and exercises helpful first steps. A solid bit of instruction, delivered amid much Triassic tomfoolery.
Kirkus Reviews

Angleberger...adds humor and silliness to the dialogue, which keeps this poetry lesson from becoming too schoolish. Boldly outlined cartoon dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures...are simple yet dynamic...The first in a new series of graphic novels for young readers, this is sure to spark literary creativity along with lots of laughs.
Booklist

Humor and action are both plentiful...Some complex vocabulary, especially dinosaur names, makes this a good choice for those gaining independence in reading, with rhyme and repetition to help them along. Poetic edification with a side of adrenaline rushes—though some of the dangers, much like poetry, may not be as scary as they seem.
