There Were Dinosaurs Everywhere: A Rhyming Romp Through Dinosaur History Hardcover Septemby Howard Temperley (Author), Michael Kline (Illustrator) 6 ratings See all formats and editions Hardcover 13.62 4 Used from 13.62 3 New from 188.27 The phenomenon of the dinosaur is one that continues to fascinate people of all ages. “Just Between Us,” the mysterious and winding tale of Dolores, Little Girl, and the dead women that keep appearing in their house, ends the anthology on a strong note. Less memorable are “Big Mama Yaga’s,” about an unusual architect, and the WWI-set “A Beautiful Stream,” which lack the dynamism of the other tales. “Vulcanization” and “Cruel Sistah” shift the collection into horror, bringing an unsettling edge as the characters of both stories encounter ghosts that have sprung from their misdeeds. Throughout the linked narratives, Brit comes quite literally into her power and helps other young Black kids like herself find their own.

A fun-filled history of the many species of dinosaurs, their eras. Among the standouts are “Street Worm,” “Queen of Dirt,” and “Conversion Therapy,” all about a girl named Brit who discovers that the world teems with dangerous invisible entities. The phenomenon of the dinosaur is one that continues to fascinate people of all ages. Several of these stories call back to older tales “Salt on the Dance Floor” and “The Tawny Bitch” have echoes of “The Little Mermaid” and “Beauty and the Beast,” respectively, while “She Tore” follows Wendy Darling and other familiar characters through life after Neverland. Shawl ( Everfair) creates a fantastical and sometimes unsettling tapestry with these 18 wild flights of fancy.
