About This Book

Parents get their dinosaurs to bed.

Our Review

This charming counting book cleverly combines early math concepts with a familiar bedtime routine that will resonate with young children. As parents gently guide their ten dinosaurs toward sleep, little ones practice number recognition through simple, repetitive text and engaging illustrations. The story naturally introduces counting down from ten to one, making it an excellent tool for developing early numeracy skills while exploring the universal challenge of settling down for the night. Young readers will delight in spotting the different dinosaur species and observing their amusing bedtime antics.

What sets this picture book apart is how effectively it addresses separation anxiety through its gentle narrative arc, reassuring children that even the most energetic creatures need rest. The warm, colorful artwork captures the loving dynamic between caregiver and child, while the decreasing number of awake dinosaurs provides a satisfying visual progression toward quiet slumber. Families establishing bedtime rituals will find this story particularly valuable for creating calm transitions to sleep, making it a wonderful addition to any preschooler's bookshelf for both educational value and comforting repetition.
