Customer Reviews

My son loves the book but…

My son loves this book, but there was a couple pages tore out of the front. I wouldn’t be upset if it wasn’t listed as very good and it was a present for Valentine’s Day. He does still carry it around with him and look at it at all times.

Great Book

my 4 year old is in love with dinosaurs, he can't get enough of this book. He takes it to bed and wakes up reading it in the morning.

Excellent for 2-4

My son loved this book when we bought it in preparation to go to the Museum of Natural History at age 2 years 10 months. Having the pronunciation is wonderful, and I love how my son started correcting our pronunciation if we don't emphasize the right syllable. He even grew interested in repeating some of the facts. He could remember them one reading to the next, so there is no need to skip them with younger children. Perfect for the kid who has recently learned letters and shows interest in dinosaurs. It's very hard to find a dinosaur book that hits this age group so perfectly. Some have too much information and some are too childish. I would highly recommend it.

Packed with info & pictures, best of all - phonetic pronouciations!

My daughter picked this board book out for my dinosaur mad 2.5 year old son. Although it is a board book, its really geared at a higher age level, but my son loves it. I would say its more aimed at 3.5-4 years old and up. Each letter has a corresponding dinosaur whose name begins with that letter. What I love is that it has a phonetic pronouciation so you as a parent can read it. Each page has a realistic "picture" of the dinosaur, not a cartoon, a little diagram on the dinosaur next to a person to show the child how big the dinosaur was, plus facts about the dinosaur. For my son, I just skip the facts for the moment and read the letter and the dinosaurs name and he loves it. It's unfortunate I think because the board book format probably keeps it from being selected for the proper age group, but overall I think its a great book for dinosaur lovers.
