Ah the kids- there are SO many books out there this holiday season, aren't there?
But how about a book that appeals to boys AND girls? I have the answer for you!
Synopsis: A Rhyming Romp Through Dinosaur History!
The phenomenon of the dinosaur is one that continues to fascinate people of all ages. It is not hard to see why: these monstrous creatures dominated the earth in their day somewhat similarly to the way humans dominate the earth today. Certainly, the vast differences between dinosaurs and humans probably account for the enthrallment—we are amazed that such "mythical" creatures actually did exist. There Were Dinosaurs Everywhere!: A Rhyming Romp Through Dinosaur History is a fun-filled history of the many species of dinosaurs, their eras, interesting facts about them, why the age of dinosaurs came to an end, and a dinosaur timeline—all told in an appealing verse form that children from ages 5 to 12 will find informative, funny and unforgettable.
Review: Kiddo loved this book! I was SO amazed at how much she has learned about dinosaurs (thanks Dino Dan!) - she knew what types of dinosaurs there were, HOW to pronounce the names, and what (and how much) they ate! So I may have read this book to her, but she was the one adding info and telling me what was right (and my wrong pronunciations). Pretty good for a 5 year old! The rhymes were catchy, modern and relevant! The illustrations were funny (a dino tap dancing?) and we laughed our way through the book! Kiddo loves flipping through the book and I had thought she would want to give it to one of her friends who is beyond dino crazy, but no, "this one is MINE, he can look at it though" was the response to that thought!
So if you're looking for the perfect kids gift for kids who love dinosaurs, check out this funny, educational book!
