Favorite Dinosaur Books
/
Dinosaurs have been around a long time. What I really mean is that, even though they are extinct, their popularity among kids of all ages is still going strong! That is one reason we’ve created this latest Connections Box, RAWRR!. It is a great mix of fun and exploration and play, all while learning about those great, prehistoric beasts. As always, there is a book included in the box, but I’ve compiled a list of some of my other favorites that I wanted to share with you. Each is linked to Amazon, but most are also available at your local bookstore.
Saturday Night at the Dinosaur Stomp - by Carol Diggory Shields and illustrated by Scott Nash; Find out what dinosaurs did for fun in this rhythmic romp through the Jurassic age.
Dinosaurumpus - by Tony Mitton and illustrated by Gay Parker-Rees; The delightful rhyme and whimsical illustrations will make children want to join in the dance while they learn about some of their favorite prehistoric pals
How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight? - by Jane Yolen and Mark Teague; Composed of familiar bedtime routines, where dinosaurs are substituted for humans, your child will enjoy this book before heading to sleep for the night.
