Description
Dinosaur Dig! has everything that gets small boys excited—diggers, dinosaurs, and dirt—plus a bit of counting thrown in for good measure.
Bursting with energy and noise and featuring a splashy, surprising ending, it’s an absolute riot of a book.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
A perfect picture book. Let me count the ways: Dinosaurs - tick; Diggers - tick; counting - tick; proper story - tick. And here's the bonus point: endpapers where the front one gives all the dinosaurs their proper names and the back one ALL THE DIGGERS!
