Dinos Don't Meditate by Catherine Bailey
4.0
fast-paced

 
This book illustrates that every dino needs to take time out, even if they don’t like to meditate.  Meditating helps calm the mind and body.  In this book we have 2 dinos, Rex, a terrible tyranno and Sam, a much calmer and bigger being.  Part of the story is told in a rhyming pattern. These are the parts where the dinos are speaking, and it works quite well.  However, the author leaves off the cadence and rhyming pattern to describe the scene, which takes the reader out of the story and making it seem much longer that it is.
