Dinosaurs take the place of horses in Dare-s zippy first story in the Dino Riders series, a kind of Wild West/Jurassic mashup. Josh Sanders is an ambitious young dino rider in the land of the Lost Plains, who hopes to enter the Founders- Day Race, but his gallimimus, Plodder, is old and slow. When Josh acquires a triceratops, however, the puppylike dinosaur isn-t race ready either. Epelbaum-s cinematic, grayscale artwork plays up the rowdiness of the premise of an adventure laced with cowpoke lingo and stuffed with dinosaurs both speedy and slow. Simultaneously available: How to Rope a Gigantosaurus. Ages 7-10. (Apr.)
