About the author

Jacqui Shepherd

47 books19 followers

Jacqui Shepherd, children's author, was born in Zimbabwe, started her schooling years in England and now resides in South Africa. As a child her favourite books were Winnie the Pooh and Dr. Seuss. She is a big Roald Dahl fan. Jacqui first began creating stories to amuse her four children. Although Jacqui's children are now grown up and making their own way in the world, they remain her inspiration. Jacqui inherited her storytelling talent from her father, Lancelot Steven Shepherd, and in loving memory of him she publishes all her work under her maiden name. Although all of Jacqui's stories are entertaining, some of them have the the added benefit of important lessons, which equip children with values and attitudes that help them in their daily lives. Jacqui believes it is important to read to a child and to teach a child to love reading. She is in full agreement with the famous Dr. Seuss quote, "You are never too old, too wacky, too wild, to pick up a book and read to a child."

Twinkle, twinkle, five stars!

I love a good series where each character shares their uniqueness and life lessons in each book. I highly recommend Sing-o-saurus for children who love to express their energy in a creative way! My favorite message I got from this was to show children that music is to be sung not just on good days, but on bad ones too. It can be so healing and that’s what I enjoyed about this the most. The illustrations are very precious. The song list at the end was such a nice touch. It was fun making up my own tune as well as singing the lyrics to popular tunes. As I sang, I rubbed my dog’s belly and by the feel of his energy, he was really enjoying himself. It’s just one of those books that make you enjoy the moment. I can’t wait to read this and sing along with my little cousins. I’m looking forward to checking out the rest of the Dino series! I also love supporting great female authors and illustrators as a team. Brava!

This singing dino brings a smile to my face.

Sing-o-Saurus: The singing dinosaur was a delightful read.  The character was charming and likable.  I enjoyed the bright colors of each illustration, and every page nicely reflected the story.  Sing-o-Saurus: The singing dinosaur is an easy read for early readers and would be entertaining for girls and boys alike.  The imaginative idea of a dinosaur who sings except when he eats or sleeps brings a smile to my face.  I would recommend this book for all readers for a fun spirited read.

Super cute and fun!
Little ones will adore this super cute and fun picture book featuring an adorable dinosaur who loves to sing anywhere he goes . The book's storyline is written in simple language that young children will understand, and beginner readers will be able to read on their own. It's beautifully illustrated with bright and colourful pictures that complement the storyline. The sing-along songs found at the back of the book that children can sing to the tune of well-known nursery rhymes, are a nice touch. Both children and adults will love this book.

Such a lovely book about a dinosaur who loves to sing. It's written in a simple but fun way, letting young children understand the story, and helping beginner readers enjoy the wording through and through. As a bonus, there is a small song list at the end, which was a nice touch. Accompanied by cute illustrations, this is a great book for readers young and old.

An energetic and uplifting book that will have readers singing along with a lovable dinosaur character. From morning to night, Sing-o-saurus can be found singing - in the bath, doing his chores, fishing or on a run. He even soothes babies to sleep with his lullabies. The colourful illustrations are engaging and bring the words to life. And throughout this fun story, we see Sing-o-saurus supported by his friends and family who like to hear him sing and sometimes sing along. This book shows the powerful role music and singing play in connecting people. Sing-o-saurus’s joy of singing is catching and there are even songs at the back of the book to encourage readers to sing along!

Never stop Singing

Jacqui Shepherd’s Sing-O-Saurus is a fun and kid-friendly story that will keep kids… UH… SINGING! It really puts having a special talent, like singing everywhere into the mindset that practicing what you love— all the time is a terrific habit! I especially loved the authors’ inclusion of new songs at the end as well! This is a fun and entertaining read!

A fun and sweet story

I enjoyed this story. It was fun to read and had a happy/sweet time to it. As the title suggests, it’s about a dinosaur who sings. He sings everywhere, no matter the mood. This story has simple, easy to read sentences that will make it easy for young readers to listen to and read in their own. The illustrations are sweet and simple like the story.

A wonderful book which brings together two of the things my daughter loves the most, music and dinosaurs! One of the gifts we have been given as humans is music, and I am always glad to discover books that promote the joy of singing above all else. However, this is not the only thing that the story teaches, as you will discover. I think it is the perfect story to encourage children to embrace the things they love and become more confident in themselves.

A jolly dinosaur who loves to sing? Count me in! I read this beautiful book to my daughter, and we had so much fun! The adorable character sings in all kinds of weather, whether he feels good or poorly, day and night, alone or with others. He sings babies to sleep, tries his talent during bubbles baths, or even when doing his chores. Young kids will definitely fall in love with this fun dinosaur and find the courage to sing as well, as my daughter did. A beautiful story about self-confidence and sharing your voice with the world, as the author cleverly puts it.

While reading this book to my daughter, I could tell that she was drawn to the story and the cute dino. We even tried some songs, having a wonderful time together. Many kids nowadays have trouble expressing themselves, so I think we need more stories like this one. We should all celebrate the joy of singing, kids and adults alike. At the end of the book, there are some wonderful bonuses, such as activities and discussions. I love when authors include bonuses, as it helps kids work on themselves and feel more confident about the world in general.

Accompanied by darling illustrations done by the talented SKlakina, the story reflects the magic of singing to perfection. The story is cheerful, encouraging kids to fall back on singing during hard times. The best thing about it is that it “nudges” kids to sing either alone or accompanied, feeling free to express themselves. Thanks to such stories, they can share their love of singing with the adults in their lives, as my daughter did.

I wish I could create a song to tell you about this book! It was such a wonderful book and my daughter loved every minute of it! I always love books that offer more than a story and I have a feeling that we will often return to the Sing-o-saurus! If your little one loves singing and music in general, this is the perfect book to read together. And sing, of course!
