To emphasize further that dinosaurs were of different sizes, here is a book called The Littlest Dinosaur<\/span> by Michael Foreman.https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Gm2Bl8HbrtI<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a song: \u201cFive Little Dinosaurs\u201c (Tune of \u201cFive Little Ducks\u201d)

Five little dinosaurs went out to play<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Out in the land of the lost one day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

T(yrannasaurus) Rex chased one for a snack
And four little dinosaurs came running back, running back, running back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And four little dinosaurs came running back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Four little dinosaurs …. (same words as above)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three little dinosaurs….<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two little dinosaurs…..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One little dinosaur went out to play<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Out in the land of the lost one day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

T-Rex chased him for a snack<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And no little dinosaur came running back……<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No little dinosaur went out to play <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Out in the land of the lost one day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

T-Rex could not find anything to chase<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So off it went to go to sleep….<\/p>\n\n\n\n
