PreS-Gr 1-Jane Yolen's fantasy bedtime poem (Scholastic, 2000) about how dinosaurs behave when getting ready to go to bed is even more delightful as a video than as a book. It has been transformed by the addition of animation and additional scenes of young children turning into monstrous dinosaurs when their parents say that it is bedtime. While in the book version a human father, and later a human mother, talk to their dinosaur offspring, in the video viewers see the human children-which never appear in the book-become dinosaurs as they resist going to bed. The color and animation are absolutely superb and capture perfectly the intense colors of Mark Teague's original illustrations. There are ten accurately detailed dinosaurs used and identified in the story. Each one eventually becomes a cuddly child. Yolen narrates the video, bringing to this simple poem a veteran parent's understanding of the nightly delaying actions of so many young children. While it can be used as a teaching tool on proper bedtime behavior and attitudes, children will simply relate to the humorous, childlike behavior of the various dinosaurs. How Do Dinosaurs Say Good Night? will become a family and classroom classic.-Linda Skeele, Western Elementary School, Georgetown, KY Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information.
