Dino-Wrestling by Lisa Wheeler and illustrated by Barry Gott was great! Having two teenage boys, I have read, and enjoyed, many dinosaur themed books. This one ranks right up there with best of them. It had everything little boys (and their moms) like: rhyming, dinosaurs, wrestling, and a set of mischievous twins.
Okay, so there is not much of a traditional conflict/resolution plot. Although there are a lot of great wrestling moves. The author has creatively described different wrestling styles while entertaining an active dino-sized imagination.
Favorite line: Well, I don't have a favorite line. I have a favorite picture this time. At the end of the sumo wrestling match is a picture of the security dino staring down at the pterodactyl twins dressed in a sumo wrestling outfit. (Not sure what it is called.) The twins look just like my boys when they were being mischievous.
P.S. If you like this one, check out the rest of Lisa Wheeler's sports themed dino books.
