Who Will You Meet on Dinosaur Street

This beautifully illustrated, colourful book is bound to draw even the youngest child in. The front cover demonstrates the fun and creativity within through the bold colours and expressions on the characters faces. This is a story that children will be joining in with and asking for again and again thanks to the rhythm and rhyme of the text.

Creative minds will have fun creating new dinosaur names and spotting why characters have been illustrated as they have. Whilst reading this book with children you could begin to introduce character profiles with them by discussing dinosaurs personalities, likes, dislikes as well as what they might eat. This could be developed by children drawing their own dinosaur creation, naming it and describing what it would be like.

There are many dinosaur stories on the market, however, Who will you meet on Dinosaur Street?, I feel, offers a far more fun and creative slant, bringing something new to the 'party'. I would definitely recommend this for foundation stage and KS1 book corners, I will also be buying this as a gift for some of my small friends as I know it will become a bedtime favourite.
