Disclosure: I received this book to review in exchange for sharing my honest opinion.
Dinoblock
Publisher: Harry N. Abrams (June 30, 2015)
Format: Hardcover
96 Pages
Following in the footsteps of the groundbreaking Alphablock and Countablock, Dinoblock features thick pages cut into the shapes of dinosaurs! Readers will be introduced to more than 20 different kinds of dinos via die-cuts of their unique silhouettes and the illuminating comparisons to familiar things from a young child’s world. I stretch high like the ladder on a fire truck. I am a Brachiosaurus. As children touch the pages, they have a chance to guess the dinosaur and appreciate the uniqueness of its silhouette. A final gatefold delivers a roundup of all the dinos included. This hands-on approach, delivered in colorful pages by hip British design team Peskimo, makes for an immersive, age-appropriate introduction to a favorite topic of childhood.
After checking out Alphablock and Countablock, I was excited to check out Dinoblock. It is a small but thick hardcover book that is packed with all things dinosaur. Each page is thick and durable, perfect for little ones. The pages read various things like “I am tall like a six-story building” and then the next page will read “I am a Sauroposeidon.” It then breaks it down how to pronounce the dinosaur. I love how the illustrations are simple but colorful. Every other page has a notch cut out which makes it easy to flip pages for kids. I honestly had no idea there were so many dinosaurs and I love how this book explains each dinosaur and how to pronounce them. Lots of dinosaur fun!
