"You Can't Count on Dinosaurs" by Philip Ardagh and Elissa Elwick (Walker Books)
"You Can't Count on Dinosaurs" by Philip Ardagh and Elissa Elwick proves just how difficult it can be when you're counting a bunch of very busy prehistoric creatures.
They don't seem to want to sit still for more than 5 minutes, which means that counting them from one to ten is extremely tricky.
But we trust our young readership, and know that in the end they'll know just how many dinosaurs are on each page.
A naughty T-Rex, a slightly scaredy-cat Apatosaurus and the cutest triceratops you've ever met are all present and correct in this book (with fabulous endpapers to introduce these busy characters to you - oh and a rather lovely dedication to Judith Kerr which we really loved!)
Let's take a peek inside:
 |
| How rude!! Rex's table manners leave a lot to be desired! |
 |
| Don't even think about it, Rex!! |
As you can see, Rex steals the show in more ways than one!
Sum this book up in a sentence: Gigglesome counting fun perfect for ages 3 plus, in a book filled with Philip's wry humour and Elissa's delicious dino drawings!
"You can't count on Dinosaurs" by Philip Ardagh and Elissa Elwick is out now, published by Walker Books (kindly supplied for review).
