Knock, Knock. Who is that at the door? It is a DINOSAUR!
I just adore dinosaurs (well before they sprouted feathers and all that nonsense) and so I had to try out this book. Sure, it is not the English book so maybe it is much more funny in that version, but I am already happy I can read this book.
Our little boy is going to have the biggest adventure of his life. One moment he is calmly reading his book about dinosaurs... and the next the doorbell rings and he comes face to face with a giant blue dinosaur! But it doesn't end there, oh no. The kid will get tons of other dinosaurs to visit.
In a fun counting way that is. Count with us when there 3 Stegosaurs running up the stairs, or when 9 oviraptors are having a ball on the bed of the parents. Yep. You will have fun counting the dinosaurs, and then laughing very loudly at what these dinosaurs are doing (from painting the walls to wearing bras and knickers on their heads to breaking mirrors).
How the kid came to get those lovely dinosaurs on his front steps? In his house? Well, I won't spoil it, but if you are ever ordering something online... check out those fine prints! :P
I was already worried the kid would be in trouble when x came home, but thankfully the dinosaurs are the kind that will help out in a pinch.
The ending? Only one thing remains (and what we see out of the window) on what happened in the house.
The art? How can I not love it! Dinosaurs drawn in a silly, and fun way with bright colours and spots.
All in all, I would recommend this book. Not only is it just a fun book about what happens if you don't read the fine print, but it is also a book to help with counting.
Tämä on ollut meillä kirjastosta lainassa jo pariin otteeseen. Hauska kuvitus ja kiva tarina (olkaahan tarkkana niiden verkkokauppojen kanssa!), joka on suomeksikin hyvin riimitelty. Pakollista lukemista kaikille dinofaneille! Pterodactyluksineen ei ihan helpointa mahdollista iltasatumatskua, jos ääneenlukija sattuu olemaan jo väsymyksestä tokkurassa. :)
Tällä kertaa kyläilemään on päätynyt lauma dinosauruksia, kun äiti ei ole tarkastanut verkkokaupan pienellä printattua osiota. Mitenhän äiti suhtautuu kotona odottavaan dinolaumaan ja sen mukana tulleeseen sotkuun...?
Hauska tarina, suhteellisen sujuvaa riimittelyä ja tällä kertaa kirjassa tuntuu olevan juonikin.
Druk, vol maar ontzettend grappig prentenboek over een jongen die via een online-bestelling reusachtige, levende dinosaurussen aan de deur krijgt. Eerst is het er nog één, dan twee, maar al gauw is het huis een bende. Gelukkig is de boel - als mama bijna thuiskomt - met z'n allen ook weer snel opgeruimd. En wat hij heeft gedaan toen ze er even niet was? Braaf met z'n dino's gespeeld natuurlijk!
There was too much text for my 2 year old to sit through, but providing I skimmed over it, she had a lot of fun hunting for the dinosaurs, particularly in the pages where they were hiding.
