Stack attack. ISBN 9781760296018
Hunter and Charlie have made the best double d-bot, to catch an
argentinosaurus. But they have a new friend to save first!
There are 8 books in the series and they do not have to be read in
order. The series will be a welcome addition to a library or added
to the collection of take home readers. The love children have for
dinosaurs is never ending and this series is no exception.
Marc Park cleverly uses words the children can read independently.
They will certainly serve the purpose of getting even the most
reluctant readers engaged. There are between 70-80 pages per book
and the text is relatively large and with illustrations
interspersed, so the books don't appear too daunting. With the added
appeal of chapters the reader will see themselves as entering the
next stage - the illusive chapter books!
