I came upon this book when my daughter became interested in dinosaurs. I had been searching for books that use dinosaurs as interesting characters and with storylines, and this certainly fit the bill. But we found it had an even greater appeal--it very amusingly rewrites the classic Cinderella tale! Instead of the usual passive victim, Dinorella is the true heroine of the story and saves the male character, the Duke! Our kids all get enough of the Disney versions of fairy tales these days--I think this is a terrific way to demonstrate that a girl can be strong (and wear a pretty dress and jewels, too!). After a year of heavy use, and nearly daily requests for this to be read aloud, I had to order another copy because our beloved Dinorella book was practically in shreds. Trust me, girls ages 4-6 will LOVE this book! And boys seem to like it, too (plenty of action, and of couse, the dinosaurs)--I read this book aloud to my daughter's pre-kindergarten class a few weeks ago, and the boys were just as enthralled as the girls. I think it is nice to read boys books with strong female characters, so I will read our copy to my baby son when he is older. There is an extremely negative review of this book posted, which I find unbelievable . . . give this book a chance, especially if you and your kids have enjoyed any of the author's other books. It's a rollicking good read, and the illustrations are lots of fun. You can't go wrong, especially for the price of the paperback!
I read the book Dinorealla by Pamela Duncan Edwards illustrated by Henry Cole. This book is about Daniela who has two evil stepsisters who got invited to Duke's party and they won't let her go to the party. Then her fairydactayle mother came and gave her a beautiful dress and jewelry so, whenShe got there Duke was out side getting his tale bit by a different Dinosaur so she threw a diamond so then he ran and Duke found Dinorella so they lived happily ever after.I like this book because it has good vocabulary and when it uses names.The message is what goes around comes around because the sister's are mean and then she ends up with better life.I think the vocabulary is good because it has good details and description. In this book the conflict is person vs. because it's people.The illustrations are good because it adds extra details not in the story.The characters are Dora, Doris, Dinorella, and DukeThis is my favorite version of Cinderella because it has good details.This book is good for all people because it has a strong lesson.
My 3 year old LOVES this book. It is a non-Disney version of Cinderella with lots of alliteration of the letter D. We took it out of our library so many times, we decided to just buy it. There are a few words that I change when I read it (Dingbat, etc) But that is just me. Book in good condition..just as advertised. I'd definitely order from this seller again.
Darling dissertation deliciously decorated and delightfully descriptive with devious developments that develop diction while doing dastardly deeds.No doubt in my mind the author was laughing as she wrote this one. For sure, I was laughing while I read it aloud. My poor tongue got twisted around the D sound as the story unfolded. I liked the main character who certainly didn't wait for a male character to rescue HER!Parent/Teacher advisory: Might not be suitable for all classrooms since dinosaurs don't have good manners. There are some words that would be quite embarrassing to be repeated in front of the church or office. One of those books that will inflame some parents and make others laugh.
Title-Dinorella ***** Author- Pamela Duncan EdwardsThis story is about a Dinosaur called Dinorella who lives with her two-step sisters Doris, and Dora. This book is similar to `Cinderella.I think this book is great because it has to do with bravery and children's romance.This book should go to my pal, reading buddy and my seven-year-old cousin.
This story is about Cinderella, but with dinosaurs instead. I like this book because It is very interesting and I like stuff with Cinderella in it. This book is very good for my brothers and my sister because it is very understanding for kids 1-8 year olds. The pictures are very beautiful and they are sometimes very funny.
My daughter loves this book. My 5 year old nephew brought it home from their school library and my sister-in-law read it to my daughter. She wanted to take it home with us. I had to promise her to find it for her. It is a tounge twister and is very entertaining. Also, the artwork is very well done.
AS a mom to a 4 year old daughter whom loves everything princess, i LOVE this book! i think we have every version of cinderella made and I was bored to tears reading them over and over.....then we found this book. What an exciting read! it is the smae as "Cinderella" in the since that Dinorella lives with her stepmother and two stepsisters that treat her poorly and an invitation comes for a dance and the sisters mock Dinorella and she doesnt think she can go to the dance ....and a fairy godmother (Fairydactyl)comes to help Dinroella go to the dance...BUT then the story changes! Dinorella actually saves the Duke (the prince)using her diamond!!! and in the end the Duke asks Dinorella to be his "dearest"!not only is it an action filled version of "Cinderella", but it has sooo many out of the ordinary words and that in itself makes it exciting! Its full of "D" words....for example: debris, demaned, dainty, dusk/dawn, dashing, devour..etc...what a cool way to expand a childs vocabulary!YES, it does have a fair amount of undesirable "name-calling" incidents, that really caught me off guard at first! Dinorella's stepsisters calling her a "dingbat" and dumbhead" - but it was easy enough to "fix" since the two sentences were at the bottom of the page I took a permenate marker and blacked them out! the other name-calling (dowdy and dull) I can accept. "Dummy" is another one I dont like, but to black it out would take away from the story. Just so you know, at one point in the story another dinosaur thinks Dinorella is a "Devil/demon", because in the dark all he can see is her diamond frame glasses.while reading i have taken the name-calling in the book as a chance to talk to my daughter about how it isnt nice and how it hurts people feelings!overall i LOVE this book - just could really do without all the name-calling!
