The Dino Dictionary Every Little Explorer Needs

Hardcover

Ages 3–7

This stunningly illustrated picture book will inspire every budding paleontologist with the impressive words that dino-crazy little kids love to learn—and show off!

Featuring more than 50 wow-worthy words, with definitions and phonetic pronunciation, this info-packed picture book will help your little explorer sound like a dinosaur expert in no time. They’ll even learn about the right tools to bring to an excavation site!

But the fun doesn’t stop at dino names—like Micropachycephalosaurus, the longest ever dinosaur name. Kids will get to know prehistoric mammals like Mammuthus, better known as the woolly mammoth, and ocean creatures like the giant prehistoric shark that once ruled the sea: Megalodon.  

We’ve also got the cutest little prehistoric creature to guide readers on their journey to becoming a dino digger! Realistic illustrations from Franco Tempesta and fascinating photos will keep every dino-loving 3-to-7-year-old engaged and wanting more.
