My work mates ask me what I am reading at the moment。。。 I say Ten Little Dinosaurs。。。 I have a nine month old son。。。。 brilliant book。 So entertaining no matter how many times you need to read it to your child
Sarita,
This was cute - and a favourite for a currently dinosaur obsessed 4 year old
Samantha Hodges,
Great rhyming book with vibrant pictures! Could be used to support counting backwards to 10
Angel McGregor,
Absolutely love these books!!
Kim,
A really fun book for little ones。 Lots of laughs and a bit of maths too。
Jason Deacon,
I like reading these books my favourite dinosaur is the pink one
Freddie D,
A catchy rhyme counting backwards from ten, with brilliant, colourful pictures。 The dinosaurs are so very cute!
Olivia Hargrave,
I think this book is good because it is funny
Lee Ann,
So fun I was asked to read it twice。 3/5 stars。
Gemma,
This book is brilliant! Love reading it to my 18 month old daughter, who comes running to join me as soon as I start the first line。 It’s great to sing to the tune of ‘5 Little Monkeys’ and is a funny and exciting read for little ones, whilst helping them learn numbers and the names of dinosaurs!
Stephanie Day,
A really cute book about dinosaurs。。 can’t wait to read it to my class during our dinosaurs topic。
Sinéad Kelly ,
My daughter loves this book! We read it every night
Paul,
Love the graphics of the book, though the storyline seems a bit violent。 Not sure if every kid can cope with this story。 Nevertheless, an interesting read。
Lizzy,
Good one。 Lots of death。。。。but then not really。
Jenna Mills,
A counting book。 I actually thought it was going to have a sad ending and was horrified by the thought! Thankfully not, though that would certainly have made it stand out from the crowd!
Paul,
2nd - now having read it as a parent; it’s a fun little book with great illustrations and a comforting ending - though this bit still doesn’t rhyme! 1st - A fun little children’s book with some frightening undertones for the overly protective parent。 The ending was a bit wet for my liking & didn’t rhyme either! Read whilst waiting in a garden centre。
Gama Ramadhan,
Bercerita tentang 10 anak dinosaurus yang baru saja menetas dan langsung kabur mengeksplor dunia di luar sarang mereka。 Wordless picture book ini menarik karena orangtua juga dapat mengajarkan anak untuk berhitung (berhubung tiap anak menghilang satu per satu di setiap halaman karena satu dan lain hal)。 Untungnya akhir kisahnya bahagia :D
Megan,
This book is crazy cute, and even funny for an adult at times。 Perfect for my 2 year old who loves dinosaurs。
Milan Žila,
The pictures are most of the fun。 Not only are they very colourful but also full of things to count。 Obviously you can count the dinosaurs but there are also little bugs and flies and hedgehogs and bats and all kinds of other aninals or things you can count。I believe this is the main attraction of the book。 The story and rhymes were ok but nothing to write home about。Overall, I don't regret buying this book but I won't buy other books in the series any time soon。 The pictures are most of the fun。 Not only are they very colourful but also full of things to count。 Obviously you can count the dinosaurs but there are also little bugs and flies and hedgehogs and bats and all kinds of other aninals or things you can count。I believe this is the main attraction of the book。 The story and rhymes were ok but nothing to write home about。Overall, I don't regret buying this book but I won't buy other books in the series any time soon。 。。。more
Alison,
Ten Little Dinosaurs has been such a sensational hit in our house that it’s been out for almost two months now, and this is the first chance I’ve had to write about it!The story starts with ten baby dinosaurs hatching, seeing their mum is asleep, and deciding to go off exploring。The line “Ten little dinosaurs all say… ROARRRRR!” is a great hit, and really helps everyone get into this exciting adventure。The plot is about these baby dinosaurs being ‘removed’ from the story in one way or another, a Ten Little Dinosaurs has been such a sensational hit in our house that it’s been out for almost two months now, and this is the first chance I’ve had to write about it!The story starts with ten baby dinosaurs hatching, seeing their mum is asleep, and deciding to go off exploring。The line “Ten little dinosaurs all say… ROARRRRR!” is a great hit, and really helps everyone get into this exciting adventure。The plot is about these baby dinosaurs being ‘removed’ from the story in one way or another, as we count down to one (SPOILER: they come back at the end)。The first one gets stomped on by a Diplodocus, but before you worry that this may be too scary for little people (although,to be honest, in my experience they seem to be more blood thirsty than many adults), each way of removing a character is innocent, or fun for the dino。The Diplodocus stomp gets covered in mud and carried off:diplodocus-stompAnother “scary” event is when a T-Rex chases one baby dino off…and you can see by the look on the baby dino’s face that this is a hilarious game:t-rex-chaseOf great amusement to my little girl is finding different aspects on each page。 A dino hidden, a bat in a cave, a crab on a tree…or what is that yellow blob mum?IMG_5237This had me completely flummoxed for the longest time…then I worked out that it’s the plesiosaur from the next page!plesiosaurThis sudden revelation made me view the book in a whole new light – each image reflects what is about to come。 It’s very cleverly done。The only thing that I dislike about this story is how the countdown is laid out each page。 You have the “adventure”, then “now there are…” then you turn the page and get to see the number left。 For me this means less time talking about what’s happening on the page。 Which works well if I just want to race through a bedtime story, but this is such a great book to talk about, with so many simple (but fun) things going on。 Thankfully, I’m an adult with basic maths skills, so can work out how many are left without needing to turn the page。The only time that there’s any sadness is when there is just one dinosaur, sitting on a rock crying。“One little dinosaur。 Has he met his doom?What’s that scary creaturestomping through the gloom?”(SPOILER: it’s mum and all the others)From the shiny cover, to the interactive text, from the delightful illustrations to the fun rhyme, Ten Little Dinosaurs by Mike Brownlow and Simon Rickerty is simply wonderful。 Put it on your Christmas wish list。Full review (with pictures): http://www。littlebooksgrowingminds。co。。。 。。。more
Nathan,
Fun for storytime; the kids love to ROAR at the end!
Janine,
Great fun and our 2 year old loves to roar。
Beth,
A joyful read - 4*This book follows the famous nursery rhyme '10 in the bed' but there's dinosaurs in it。 Will be useful for a dinosaur theme and reinforcing the numbers。 Needs to be read in the tune otherwise it doesn't sound right。 A joyful read - 4*This book follows the famous nursery rhyme '10 in the bed' but there's dinosaurs in it。 Will be useful for a dinosaur theme and reinforcing the numbers。 Needs to be read in the tune otherwise it doesn't sound right。 。。。more

Best rhyming = "dodging poo" and "now there are two" PLUS a sweet ending。 One to try in storytime。 Best rhyming = "dodging poo" and "now there are two" PLUS a sweet ending。 One to try in storytime。 。。。more
