Count-a-Saurus is a one to ten counting book with different dinosaurs on each page. The illustrations are fun for young children and a different dinosaurs is offered with each number. The author has included a pronunciation guide for the names of dinosaurs to make reading the book aloud easy for an adult without stumbling over a long dinosaurs's name. I have used this book with children in my preschool classroom for many years and they all seem to enjoy it as one of their favorite counting books. It works for rote counting and for one-to-one number relationship teaching when you have the children count and point to each dinosaurs on the page.

Count the various types of dinosaurs 1-10 as they do some silly things.

This is another good option for those families who have a dinosaur fanatic and get tired of reading the same titles over and over again. It's good counting practice for youngsters too, which humorous illustrations that are sure to entertain. In the back there's some additional info on each dinosaur type.

Cute but super simple. But there are definitely worse ways to reinforce counting for kids that love dinosaurs, I suppose!
