Catch Me If You Can! (Green Light Readers Level 2)

He has huge claws and enormous feet. He has a big tail and great big teeth. He’s fierce, and everyone runs and hides from the biggest dinosaur of them all. But one little dinosaur doesn’t hide—she knows her gargantuan grandpa is the sweetest dinosaur of them all. Beloved author-illustrator Bernard Most adds an irresistible pair of larger-than-life creatures to his wild and wonderful dinosaur menagerie.

Children's Literature

One dinosaur is the biggest of all, and the others run and hide from him except for one little dinosaur who dares the big one to catch her if he can. In the end, the big dinosaur turns out to be the little one's grandfather and he catches her and tickles her. Though the repetition and the surprise ending will appeal to early readers, this uninspired easy-reader brings nothing new to the genre. The cartoon-like drawings of the dinosaurs are as unremarkable as the text, offering little variation from page to page, in either color or content. Don't bother catching this one.
