Customer Reviews

This is not a good choice if your trying to teach your kids their colors
I deliberately chose this book because my son loves dinosaurs and I thought it would be a great way to teach him his primary colors. The dinosaurs filled most of the pages and the items that were used for the "color" were so small that you have to point them out to the child. I won't return it because of the return shipping costs Amazon charges, but I certainly wouldn't recommend this to anyone else.

Not the same as the big books
We were a little disappointed with this book and a couple of the other board books in this series. Our one-year-old son LOVES the full size "How Do Dinosaurs" story books, but he hardly pays attention to the board books.

First of all, the words and rhymes aren't as clever. Maybe the concept of counting or colors just isn't as good of a material as going to bed, eating your food, or going to the doctor.

Second, the books are short and the artwork is very scaled down and much simpler. My son loves the artwork in the bigger books but the white background in these is kind of boring.

Maybe time will tell, but he is getting past the board book stage and I am just not sure that these books will hold the attention of kids who are at an age for learning colors or numbers. I wish there was a full-size version, and I wish I had known the content of the board books was not as good as the big books. Now YOU do!

Love these dinosaur books
I really loves these dinosaur books. I have a 3 year old girl who loves dinosaurs and these are great. The books in this series all have a lesson to learn, either moral, or academic. Awesome set!!
