CREATURE COUNT: A PREHISTORIC RHYME

CREATURE COUNT: A PREHISTORIC RHYME, by Brenda Huante, ill. by Vincent Nguyen (FSG/Macmillan 2012)(ages 3+).  In a prehistoric take on "Over in the Meadow," Huante and Nguyen deliver Pleistocene mammals and an array of creatures -- dinosaurs and pterosaurs -- from the Mesozoic.  A fun take -- with exuberant illustrations -- on a classic rhyme.  An author's note provides additional context.
