"Drumheller dinosaurs rise up tall. Across the Badlands they skeleton-crawl.";
Award-winning Vancouver primary school teacher and children's poet Robert Heidbreder takes young readers on a moonlit romp when dusty dinosaur bones rouse themselves and re-assemble to "tango, fandango and break-dance."; A storm, say the grownups, hearing the thunderous tambourine beat, but the kids know it's only the dinos drumming and dancing the Drumheller Dinosaur Dance (Kids Can $17.95). Alberta is home to Drumheller's Royal Tyrrell Museum and over 60 of the world's 400 dinosaur species, several of which Bill Slavin and Esperanca Melo feature in their illustrations. 1-55337-393-6
