How to Write Dinosaur Limerick Poems

A Tyrannosaurus called Trevor

Read books and learned how to be clever.

Everyone knew his name

When he quickly became

The first T-Rex in Outer Space EVER

'funnier than a fossil-hunter's funnybone '

- Stan Cullimore, children's author & ex-popstar (The Housemartins)

Plesiosaur twins Dan and Dana

Dived under and saw a piranha

They splashed quickly away

But Dan said, 'It's okay -

I think it was just a banana '

'David Bedford is encouraging children to play with words and ideas, to enjoy and be creative with language.'

- Dr Chlo Marshall, Professor of Psychology, Language and Education, UCL Institute of Education, University College London

On his birthday a Triceratops

Took his money to spend at the shops.

He bought two long hats

Five black-and-white cats

And a bagful of green lollipops
