Dinosaur Books for Kids
One of our favorite dinosaur books is I'm a Dirty Dinosaur by Janeen Brian and Ann James. You can read my review of this book right here on this blog here.
Children will delight in this dirty dinosaur’s playful antics and just may want to join in with the sniffing, snuffing, shaking, tapping, stamping, splashing and sliding, not to mention the mud!
A celebration of messiness and an irresistible read-aloud!
