About this book
Ten little children dress up as dinosaurs and explore their surroundings through play in this lively and vibrant picture book. With each page, a different dino-child is introduced with a movement or play-based activity – leading to a fun fold-out ending where all ten dino-children leave nursery after a busy day of play.
With its rhythmic twist on the classic nursery rhyme This Little Piggy, and its nursery school setting which celebrates pretend play, this is a book which has been designed with pre-schoolers in mind. It’s also a brilliant starting point for the development of counting skills. Every double page features a helpful visual learning aid in the form of a bottom banner which shows the face of each newly introduced dinosaur along with the relevant number.
Early learning is made fun and engaging through bold, busy and playful illustrations which will have children picking out details and relating them to their own experiences of pretend play.
