Calling all dinosaur lovers!! Young kids seem to go through a dinosaur phase. I know several who are in them. Their moms work at our school and during teacher workdays they often have a play date, and the hallway becomes what we lovingly call Jurassic Park. They can tell you all about the different dinosaurs! Today we are sharing a board book with sliding tabs to make the dinosaur move about the ever-popular T. rex. It is Ultimate Discovery: T. rex by Raphaële Glaux and illustrated by Amélie Falière. It is recommended for ages 0 to 3 but I would say probably through age 5 will enjoy it!
About the Book:

From Me:
This book takes the reader through the life of a T. rex. It shares different things about T. rex and other dinosaur species. The illustrations inside the book are labeled with names of other dinosaurs, body parts, and more. It begins with the egg, and the reader gets to slide open the egg to crack it. The words are simple for young readers to understand and being able to make the dinosaur move is fun! Readers will learn a bit about a T. rex including body features, what they ate, and that they roar! The book teaches youngest readers a bit about dinosaurs and hopefully starts the phase of loving dinosaurs and science!
The sliding tabs seem very sturdy and I am not worried about young readers ripping them out. Of course, with any book of this type, readers should be gentle, but these seem firmly placed in ways that make it difficult to damage. The book is informative and fun. It is short and sweet and young kids will really love it! It is the perfect gift for a book themed baby shower, an Easter basket, or just to read!! Looking for even more great dinosaur resources?
