"World Fantasy Award winning author S.P. Somtow third ""Dinosaur Classics"" brings opera to life for young Billy and Rex the Raptor!

Billy's parents insist on leaving his pet velociraptor at the Dino-Pound while they drag him off to a week at the Opera Festival! But Billy's fantasy world soon populates the stage with all kinds of dinosaurs. What's ""Aida"" about?

Now in a pyramid entombed

Are prince and princess proud,

They still might have some oxygen

Had they not sung so loud.

In fact, what are most operas about?

The usual plot is, ""A"" loves ""B""

Whose passion ""D"" then stokes

They sing some piercing, shrill top ""C""s

And then the lady croaks.

Told with playful poetry and hilarious illustrations, S.P. Somtow's book is a companion piece to the much-praised ""Dinosaur Symphony,"" and ""Dinosaur Ballet""."
