Oh My Oh My Oh Dinosaurs!

Oh My Oh My Oh Dinosaurs!

by Sandra Boynton

Sunbathing dinosaurs and artistic dinosaurs, dancing dinosaurs and volleyball-playing dinosaurs make learning opposites fun. This is a book of opposites featuring colorful, humorous drawings and lively text.

These adorable brightly colored dinosaurs are sure to be a big hit with infants and toddlers alike. The short length is great for young ones with short attention spans, and the sturdy board book format is great for little hands.

In this classic Boynton board book, children learn about opposites and rhyming words through simple text and fun illustrations. Kids can study Boynton's wonderfully descriptive drawings for clues as to what word might come next. Perhaps your child can even think of words that rhyme with Boynton's "plump" and "lean." The colorful dinosaurs will fascinate babies and the outrageous antics of naughty dinosaurs spraying paint will provoke a gaggle of giggles in toddlers.

I read this story to Emily, a three-year-old that I babysit, and she had a blast guessing what might happen next as we turned the pages. When we reached the page featuring dinosaurs singing a dinosaur song, she made up her own version: "Roar, roar, roar!" And picking out a favorite dinosaur on each page - usually one in her favorite color, purple - was also a big hit.
