Dinosaur ABC (Smart Kids): Board Book

Smart Kids

by Roger Priddy

A chunky A to Z board book about some of the coolest dinosaurs for young enthusiasts who are fascinated by these incredible creatures.

Each page of Dinosaur ABC focuses on a different dinosaur, from Allosaurus to Zephyrosaurus. There are large photographs of lifelike models, simple facts, infographics showing their sizes, and pronunciation guides.

Dinosaur-mad kids will learn about some of their favorites, such as Triceratops and Diplodocus, and meet some they've never heard of before, such as Nodosaurus and Yingshanosaurus. The text is aimed at young readers, and the facts are easy to digest.

All this adds up to a perfect first dinosaur book for preschool children.

My favorite, and I can read all of the letters

[Jordain · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is hands down my dino-obsessed son's favourite book, but they definitely did not choose many main-stream dinosaurs to feature! It is really entertaining listening to a 3 year old try to pronounce "Quetzalcoatlus" and "Euoplocephalus", but would it have been better to replace the "Stenonychosaurus" with a Stegosaurus or something more mainstream? Same for the Baryonyx with a Brontosaurus?

Not for babies!
Realistic photos of dinosaur models may be scary for some kids - take a look at the cover!
Pronunciation and age-appropriate factsgiven for each dino - very helpful.

[Villain E · Rating 4 out of 5]

My kids love letters and they love dinosaurs. There some dinosaurs here I've never heard of. And some I can't pronounce.

Excellent book. Have read close to 100 times. Favorite dino is Wannanosaurus.

[KaitandMaddie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Maddie loves this one. The facts are more preschool-kindergarten level, so this one has lots of reread potential.

[Lex Redding · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good variety and informative inclusion of pronunciation, though my 4 year old was left wanting more facts about each dinosaur.
