What do our readers think of Ten Little Dinosaurs? (Generated from the text of reviews of the book)

Children enjoy the bright dinosaurs, funny sounds and bouncy rhymes, especially when they can join in with counting and roaring. They also like looking closely at the colourful pictures and returning to the story again and again.

What does the Pageticker team say about Ten Little Dinosaurs?

We love the lively combination of counting, bold dinosaur characters and noisy rhyming text. The repeated disappearing-and-reappearing pattern makes this an easy book to join in with, while the bright, busy illustrations offer plenty to spot. It is especially well suited to dinosaur-loving toddlers who enjoy sound effects and repetition, although some of the more perilous encounters may need a reassuring cuddle.
