HOW DO DINOSAURS LAUGH OUT LOUD? With good-natured jokes, lift-the-flaps on every spread, and the classic, bestselling characters from Jane Yolen and Mark Teague.
What do you call a dinosaur sleeping in your bed?
A Dino-snore
Filled with the beloved prehistoric humor that made How Do Dinosaurs a bestselling series, Jane Yolen and Mark Teague present a new lift-the-flap format to answer the age old question, once and for all, How Do Dinosaurs Laugh Out Loud? Young readers will love to read this uproarious book again and again

In this last installment of JaneYolen’s trio of books about ordinary objects with extraordinary uses, the humble stick is lauded as “a sword to tame monsters of dread” and “an oar for a rowboat in puddle or pond,” among other imaginative functions. As with most things, though, it fulfills its truest purpose when combined with other simple items: what can be made with a stick, a box, and a string? “Music that goes with ... everything!”

What were all those fairy-tale characters thinking? Jane Yolen and Rebecca Kai Dotlich answer this question in paired poems, with sometimes startling results. The Princess claims all those mattresses kept her awake, not a silly pea, while the poor pea complains that the princess snores. One Snow White begs the witch to settle by the bay and throw that mirror away. Another boldly tells the mirror she "won't be guided by a glass that's so one-sided." Grumbles from the Forest is a bewitching brew of voices, grumbling, pleading, bragging, reminiscing, confiding, that bubbles with magic and wonder. The spectacular paintings that tie the poems together are full of surprise and intrigue. This stunning collection includes end notes that briefly describe the tales and their history and an introduction that invites readers to imagine their own poems from unusual perspectives.

In this collection of poems, noted children's poet Jane Yolen takes readers on an expedition underground, exploring everything from animal burrows and human creations, like subways, near the surface, to ancient cities and fossils, lower down, to caves, magma, and Earth's tectonic plates, deeper still below our feet. At the same time, in Jose Masse's rich art, a girl and boy, accompanied by several animals, go on a fantastic underground journey. This book contains science, poetry, and an adventure story all rolled into one. But it's also more than that: In these poems we see that beneath us are the past, present, future, history, truth, and story. This thought-provoking collection will evoke a sense of wonder and awe in readers, as they discover the mysterious world underneath us.
