Clip, Clop!
THE THREE TRICERATOPS TUFF by Stephen Shaskan. Beach Lane, 2013.
This parody of The Three Billy Goats Gruff should appeal to all those dinosaur lovers in your class. They clip clop down into a valley where they encounter a T-rex. How the three triceratops get the better of the T-rex is perfect. This might become a mentor text for older readers and also an introduction to the traditional tale for those who have not yet encountered it.
