It’s a game-o-saurus! Readers search artwork for dinosaurs, complete a poster with dino-name stickers, solve puzzles, and more.On the island of Rosa Turoso, there are lions that speak, lizards that dance — and a girl named Abba who is crazy about dinosaurs. With her dinosaur poster, her dachshund, and her magical hat, Abba sets off on a journey, spotting dinosaurs (and other surprises) all the way. Readers are invited to follow along, affixing dinosaurs’ names on a poster just like Abba’s. Illustrations conceal sixteen dinosaurs, while puzzles and challenges boost the fun. The final bonus? A pullout book of facts and rhymes helps children get to know the dinos better.
