Five Dinosaurs Riding in Cars

I just finished these dinosaur illustrations for my library job -- they'll be used on the flannelboard during Story Time to accompany Nancy Stewart's song "Dinosaurs in Cars."



At the beginning of the song, each dinosaur drives its own car. One by one, they each get a flat tire.


The last dinosaur decides to put on her spare tire and go back for her friends. I modeled her car after the Euclid Beach rocket car (seen around town in the Cleveland area).


The brontosaurus is my favorite! I will call her "Bronte." The stegosaurus on a Vespa is a close second.


In case you've never heard it, here's the "Dinosaurs in Cars" song, performed by Nancy Stewart and charmingly animated by Calvin Williams. It's pretty catchy!
