Dinosaur Snap is part of a collection of board books inspired by the classic picture book, Dinosaur Roar. Each book features one dinosaur highlighting their unique features and personality.
Dinosaur Snap is fierce with a big snapping jaw. Whack has his spiky tail to protect him and Whizz is so fast Snap can’t catch him. Snap thinks little Squeak would make a tasty treat but Roar is always there to protect his little friend.
Other dinosaurs in the series pop in and out of each story, sometimes helping and sometimes causing havoc.
I like how each dinosaur has a name that relates to their personality. They are like a little community. Jay can name them all and points them out as they appear in each other’s books.
We have always been big fans of Dinosaur Roar and Ten Terrible Dinosaurs and this new collection adds to the delight by naming the dinosaurs and giving them personalities.
The front of each book has the correct pronunciation of the dinosaurs scientific name. Which is very helpful as some are quite a mouthful. The rear of the book points out specific features of that dinosaur.
With bright illustrations and rhyming text these board books are sure to appeal to little dinosaur enthusiasts and their parents.

Noah really enjoyed this instalment describing it as “the scary one”.

Another cute Dinosaur Roar book. This one doesn't have as much of a "lesson" as the other ones I've read do (Snap is mean and learns that he's not the biggest, scariest dino out there), but it's still a fun, rhyming story.

My View:
Perfect first reading/re-telling books for the pre-schooler, you know it’s been well received when your child says – “Can you read this again?” and then points out that the back cover shows you more books you can collect in the series and then names all the dinosaurs in that series. 😊
A hard-wearing cardboard book, very reasonably priced, makes a good birthday party gift - who doesn’t love dinosaurs at this age? 4-6 years).
Enjoy reading this fun rhythming book with the child in your care, start collecting this series today, we are. I am off to source the rest of these books.
