![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Don't buy this one for a complicated narrative, but do buy it for the tyke who is dinosaur obsessed. A Monster Pop-Up Book by Paul Stickland (Dutton Books, 1996) Dinosaurs, Dinosaurs by Byron Barton (Harpercollins Juvenile Books, 1991) Dogs, Dogs. ![]() This book is simple enough for the littlees to grasp, and straight forward enough to actually teach them something. The dinosaurs are just so darn tootin' pretty to look at! I don't have an overabundance of picture books made with watercolour paint as the main illustration medium, and the Sticklands clearly know how to wrangle a paintbrush. My favourite part of this book is absolutely the illustrations. The book is over 20 years old, and still as relevant and likely just as appealing to its target demographic as it was when it was first written in 1994. Plainly put, it's kind of an odd transition, but my 21-month-old really doesn't care so I'm not sure I should either. Join in the dinosaur fun with this rhyming modern classic, Dinosaur Roar by Henrietta Stickland and Paul Stickland. Towards the end, the rhyming narrative about opposites somehow transitions into rhyming adjectives describing the dinosaurs eating lunch. 'Dinosaur fast, dinosaur slow, dinosaur above and dinosaur below'. Dinosaur Roar! teaches children useful adjectives, and does so using dinosaurs to grab (and hold) their attention: This one's for the kiddies who are in that dinosaur-lovin' stage. ![]()
