Children love dinosaurs and this hands-on novelty book offers
a fun look at dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures. Striking
collage illustrations, bold flaps and die-cut surprises await the
youngster as he or she delves into this fascinating world of prehistoric
critters of every shape and disposition.
While on one page a large pterodactylus spreads its huge wings,
on another you’ll discover an ankylosaurus shaking its long
tail and then you’ll have to slip back the green foliage to
discover a stegosaurus hiding in the undergrowth. You’ll also
discover why a triceratops had a large, bony frill around its neck
and how a parasaurolophus might have used the horn on her head.
There’s lots to amuse a child in this interactive book and
the handy pronunciation key will help mom or dad get the names right
as they read this book at bedtime.
