Similar concept to the other Digging for Dinosaurs board book with a different setting and different dinosaur information. These are fun for reading aloud!

[Danielle Hammelef · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is similar to the original Dinosaur book but has a different setting and different things the paleontologists find. Like the first book, this is fun, creative, and informative with bright illustrations for dinosaur and science fans. The lift the flap features are sturdy and the art perfectly matches on the top sides and bottom sides (surprises under each flap).
