Orchard Books, 2008.
(Age 3+) In this fun dinosaur book, the reader gets to see what
different dinosaurs look like. A tyrannosaurus rex chases after a small
dinosaur, a pteranodon swoops through the air, a triceratops nods to
its young, the neck of the diplodocus sways above the trees and the
earth shudders when the giganotosaurus stomps on the ground.
The appealing story about each dinosaur is told in rhyme and would be
good to read aloud. The vivid illustrations are a delight. Each
dinosaur has a quirky face and devilish grin, which should delight a
young audience.
There are lots of tantalising tabs and flaps for the reader to find,
each with fun objects behind. The pop-ups are wonderful and will give a
young user lots of opportunity to learn about the shapes of different
dinosaurs while having a lot of fun.
As with all pop-up books, care is needed to keep the pop-ups intact, so
this is a book to keep safe and treasure.
