Disclosure: I was sent a copy of this book in order to provide an honest review. All opinions are my own. 

Do you have a young dinosaur lover? Today we are sharing a fun board book about a playful dinosaur. It is perfect for the youngest dinosaur fans! The book is There's a Dinosaur in Your Book by Tom Fletcher. It is recommended for ages 3 to 7.


About the Book:

There's a Dinosaur in Your Book is a part of the Who's In Your Book? collection.


Shhh! A big T-Rex is sleeping in YOUR book... but a little T-rex is making lots of noise! Help her keep quiet in this interactive adventure from the bestselling author of There's a Monster in Your Book that's perfect for little ones learning to use their inside voice.

ROARRR!

A bored little dinosaur is stomping around in your book... and she's making lots of noise! Can you help her find some friends to play with? But make sure to keep everyone quiet or we might wake up... the BIG DINOSAUR!

This playful interactive story teaches little ones to use their inside voice, asking them to model being quiet by whispering and humming softly. Other interactive prompts include counting, dancing, and even SHOUTING! (Because sometimes it's OK to use your outdoor voice!) Young dinophiles will love pointing out the T-Rex, Triceratops, Diplodocus, and Stegosaurus in the illustrations.


From Me:

The premise of this book is that a young dinosaur wants to play but the big dinosaur is asleep. The little dinosaur meets all sorts of friends but is not great at being quiet. The book has different actions for the reader to help the little dinosaur. This is a fun book to read with a little one!


I love how this book has different actions for the reader. It is perfect for a story time with a hyperactive dinosaur lover. When the child is getting squirmish there  are activities like tapping the berries or counting butterflies. Even with the readers trying to help little dinosaur stay quiet and not wake the big dinosaur, he wakes him. In the end however he wants to play with the friends as well. It is a cute book that young dinosaur lovers will enjoy!!
