First Felt Flaps: Dinosaurs!<\/a><\/strong> (Ages 0-2)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This engaging board book gives little one clues about the dinosaur hiding on the next page. They will love lifting the flaps as their grownup reads aloud. Each page features a helpful pronunciation guide, and most importantly, fun dinosaur noises \u2013 Grrr! Chomp! Honk! Roar! Swish! Crash! Bash! Grunt! Snap! Stomp! <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

My First Search and Find Dinosaurs<\/a> <\/strong>(Ages 3-5)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This search-and-find board book features tabs with different dinosaur habitats to explore. Your child will learn fun dino facts while practicing pointing, counting, and reading! Once you\u2019ve finished the book, take a look at the back cover \u2013 there\u2019s one more dinosaur left to find! <\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

What Do Dinosaurs Do?<\/a><\/strong> (Ages 3-5)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Push, pull, lift, and slide to bring these dinosaurs to life! Your little one will love making T. Rex chomp and Velociraptor blink. Stegosaurus\u2019s plates will spring up as they turn the page, and Triceratops will shake its head! Iguanodon\u2019s egg will hatch and Ankylosaurus will swish its club-like tail. And finally, your little one can unfold the pages to reveal Brachiosaur\u2019s long neck and tail. This book was an instant favorite at our house! <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

How to Spot a Dinosaur<\/a><\/strong> (Ages 3-5) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This picture book features rhyming text and charming illustrations. The story tells of a brother-sister duo searching the park for dinosaurs. Each time they think they\u2019ve found one, it turns out to be a silly pigeon or some other everyday object. Finally, a man points them in the direction of the Dinosaur Display where they find ALL the dinosaurs. I won\u2019t give any spoilers, but this book has a surprise ending that my little ones absolutely loved! <\/p>\n<\/div>

Dino-Roar! Coloring & Activity Book<\/a><\/strong> (Ages 6-8)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This book comes with an adorable marker pouch and tons of fun activities!

The book also includes a sticker sheet featuring the cutest dinosaurs and other prehistoric flora and fauna. This is a great activity book to have on hand when you need to keep your little ones busy, like long car rides or waiting at a restaurant. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
