As I have mentioned before, my son is a dinosaur freak! He is also crazy about books, so no surprises that this one is extremely popular and well read!
Dinosaur Boo is a mischievous little rascal, scaring the other dinosaurs in the land of Dinosaur Roar! He goes around yelling “Boo!!!” at everyone, until he finally meets his match.
Do we recommend Dinosaur Boo?
Oh yes indeed we do! This is my 3 year old son’s absolute favourite book in the World of Dinosaur Roar series so far. And depending on the day, is his FAVOURITE book! He LOVES to (loudly) yell out “BOO!!” whenever Dinosaur Boo does, and gets extremely upset if I don’t read it to him again, and again and again. I have hidden it from him a few times when we have read it 50 times that day!
I think its absolutely fantastic. The story is really cute and I love the rhyming, and the illustrations are vibrant and colourful. Like the others, it contains a page at the end full of dinosaur facts, this one is on the deinonychus. This series is a great way to introduce dinosaurs to kids, or in our case to learn specific facts about dinosaurs that my son already knows about. Or to dinosaur novice parents, introduce the dinosaur, and it thankfully includes a handy section on how to pronounce it to your child 🙂
Many thanks to the author via Pan Macmillan for a copy of Dinosaur Boo for us to enjoy together, which has already been read at least 100 times! At least!

A fun take about a dinosaur who likes to scare the others. Great learning of dinosaur names with a rhyming story.

Noah enjoys it, but doesn’t really understand the moral yet - he’s just waiting for T-Rex to enter the story!

I enjoyed reading this picture book even as an adult. I am always interested in dinosaurs.The book always tells us that it's not nice to make fun of other people because eventually you might get a lesson later on.
As an English learner, this book did help me conquer the fear of remembering all those hard to pronounce words about dinosaurs in English.

Cheeky Deinonychus! Going around scaring all of the other dinosaurs. He sure got a taste of his own medicine in the end.
We love the facts about the dinosaurs at the end of these books. It's a great way to get to know each type of dinosaur and learn about it.

Not my favourite of the Dinosaur Roar books, because this dino is innately naughty, which is not something I think toddlers should think is possible. Naughtiness is learned, not innate, in my opinion.
Anyway, my son likes the story and finds the ending quite funny.
