Dinosaur Roar – Read Aloud & Classroom Ideas
Dinosaur Roar by Paul and Henrietta Stickland is a bold, energetic picture book that young children instantly connect with. Using bright illustrations and rhythmic text, the book introduces dinosaurs while pairing them with clear opposites such as big/small, fast/slow, and loud/quiet.
The repetition makes it perfect for group read-alouds, helping children join in, predict language, and build confidence. It’s a brilliant choice for early years, ESL classes, and any lesson focused on vocabulary and descriptive language.
