One of the few books that provides pronunciation, however barely educational. Nice pictures. But wouldn’t recommend.

Lift flaps, pull tabs, spin wheels and become a paleontologist. Thick pages and interactive elements for little hands.

I adore the interactive aspects of this book, and my students are obsessed! I recently bought a fresh batch of dinosaur themed books at the request of one of our girls, but everyone is enjoying them. The designs are adorable, and I love how much information is packed into so small a package! A very high recommendation for any budding dino enthusiasts out there!

Lots of great illustrations and a solid introduction. Frankie liked it. That counts for a lot in my book.
