About This Book

Stretch, stomp, splash, and count with your favorite dinosaurs! Sound out their names as they go about their dinosaur days. Learning is as easy as one, two, three, ROAR!

Our Review

This engaging counting book transforms early number recognition into a prehistoric adventure, inviting young learners to stretch, stomp, and splash alongside a cast of friendly dinosaurs. Each page pairs a clear, bold numeral with a corresponding number of dinosaurs engaged in lively, identifiable actions, making the abstract concept of quantity wonderfully concrete. The simple, rhythmic text encourages children to sound out dinosaur names, cleverly blending early literacy skills with foundational math concepts for a rich, multi-sensory learning experience.

What truly distinguishes this board book is its dynamic approach to counting; it moves beyond static images by showing dinosaurs in motion, which naturally captures and holds a preschooler's attention. The sturdy pages are perfectly sized for little hands, and the final triumphant "ROAR!" provides a satisfying, participatory climax that children will eagerly anticipate. This is an excellent choice for any toddler fascinated by prehistoric creatures, successfully making their first steps into the world of numbers feel like an exciting game rather than a lesson.
