9781442557239
A Dino Ate My Homework is an imaginative recount by a girl with a tremendous sense of humor and a way with words. Just when she’s about to break her pattern of lost homework, she tumbles into a strange world and … a mean and hungry dinosaur eats her homework. The style is friendly and conversational.
The text is composed of a variety of sentence types. Illustrations support the text but not all events are illustrated. Ellipses are used. The book concludes with a two-page spread that tells how to write an imaginative recount.
Some words may require clarification: escape artist, on target, drenching, bucketed, clambered, droplets, canopy, trekking, piranhas, narrowly missed, quality time, the inevitable, shimmied. Simile: like a tangle of ropes. Alliteration: diamond droplets.
