Bon Voyage (2000)

Bon Voyage by Greg Olsen is a light-hearted look at what might have befallen the dinosaurs. It comes with a poem, suitable for framing that describes how the dinosaurs laughed and scoffed at the notion of boarding the ark with the other toys. Bon Voyage is sure to appeal to children everywhere, including the child in each of us.

"Out the call went, 'twas the day to embark, All aboard on Noah's gopher wood ark! They came, every creature; they came, two by two, They all came for a ride on that big floating zoo. But a few of those creatures were still filled with doubt, They said to the others, 'You go ahead; we're staying out.' 'Bon Voyage! Please have a nice trip; Send us a post card,' they yelled with a quip. While slapping their knees, they roared at the ship, And while shaking their heads - one felt a drip. And thus, the question is answered, as it thunders and pours, As to whatever happened to all of the great dinosaurs."
