My First Pop-Up Dinosaurs by Owen Davey – ADVISABLE

My First Pop-Up Dinosaursby Owen Davey. BOARD BOOK. Candlewick, 2018. $17.  9781534440043

BUYING ADVISORY: PRE-K –ADVISABLE

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE

This book is a fairly simple collection of dinosaurs. It features a pop-up of the dinosaur on a two page spread with its official name and (thank you!) how to pronounce it. The colors are muted and harmonious.

Normally a pop-up would not be a great fit for a pre-school, but this one is fairly sturdy and the pop-ups are very nice and basic –nothing that requires extra care to fold or manage. I can think of several pre-k children who would absolutely love this book. Its more artsy than realistic with very basic backgrounds of colors and shapes (vs habitats).
