daisycakesco's review against another edition
2.0
The math is confusing - we are adding one dinosaur on each page until we add 5? Children just learning math and counting might struggle with this. Yes, we're not counting the 5 dinosaurs separately, they're representing 5, but a young child may not get that.

I picked this up from the library to read with a kid I work with you loves numbers. As soon as I pulled it out of my bag, a huge smile spread on his face and he started making dinosaur sounds. He was ever more excited once I opened it and showed him that there were numbers inside. Big hit.
This is a cute book about counting to ten. I enjoyed the fun rhymes and colorful illustrations. I would say that this is a good number book over math (i.e. addition) book. A new dinosaur is added on each pagespread for numbers 1 through 5, then the pattern switches to counting new groups of things. Works really well for counting and number identification.
I also really liked that there was factual information thrown into the rhymes such as that some dinosaurs swallowed stones to help digestion and Troodon were thought to be very smart because of their brain size. At the end of a book, there is also a little more information about each dinosaur and other animals featured in the book. Nice way to add some facts and educational information into a fun book about dinosaurs.
Perfect for fans of numbers and dinosaurs. A very cute book.
