Diplodocus
Andrea Lorini
Board book
(B.E.S., Oct. 1, 2015)
The Mini Dinosaurs series features adorable books die-cut in the shape of the dinosaur depicted in that story. Each board book is jam-packed with interesting facts, and every page is complemented by full-color illustrations that are handsomely rendered in a naturalistic style that will captivate kids (Mom and Dad, too). In Diplodocus, children discover that this gentle, giant dinosaur had shorter front legs than back legs, five-toed feet, and a thumb claw that it probably used to fight off enemies. Perfectly sized for little hands, this book is a fun, exciting, and interesting way to introduce children to this perennially popular subject.
