Little Explorers: Dinosaurs

This is a 'lift the flap' book that tells children many different facts about many different dinosaurs. From the environment they lived in to how dinosaur eggs hatched and how different dinosaurs got their names, this is an engaging book which presents the facts in short, clear sentences. It has a good balance of introducing subject specific terminology whilst also being easy to understand. The images are all cartoon-like in style, so not scary for the more delicate readers! The book ends with a page about the death of dinosaurs, explaining how fossils form and also introducing some of the 'survivors' that are still alive today. This is a good book for younger children who are interested to find out more about dinosaurs, or as a first introduction to the topic. 16 pages / Ages 4-6 years / Reviewed by Lizi Coombs, teacher.
