Oh My Oh My Oh Dinosaurs!

Another fun Boynton board book, this time about dinosaurs and opposites or antonyms. It's a little odd that it begins and ends with sadness though.

Dinosaurs show us what they do and who they are--and most of them are silly!

Dinosaurs, rhyme, board book: enough said? Well, let me add that the funny activities (like painting) and seeing the differences in the personalities and shapes and sizes of the various dinosaurs are a great conversation starter for talking with a bunch of preschoolers/late toddlers (or just one) about imagination, real vs. pretend, and different types of people and animals.

This kind of pissed me off because there are so many different awesome real dinosaurs to learn about like stegosauruses and Bambiraptor feinbergis but here it's all dinosaurs in box, dinosaurs in sox.

It's a fine book, cute, funny. We'd sort of outgrown this type of board books though, by the time it came our way. But this was among the first books my son read through all by himself, which makes it more memorable for us. (He read it out loud to me in the car, while I was driving.)

Gosh we love Sandra Boynton around here. Boy does she write great books.

This is a quick book of rhymes which *mostly* show opposites (dinosaur weak, dinosaur strong, dinosaurs singing a dinosaur song!) Very fast to read, and cute, engaging pictures for little ones.

We love Boynton in my house (at least the kids do), and this is one of our favorites. The words are simple and concepts that kids should be able to learn relatively young. The pictures are engaging to look at, and the cut out on the cover is fun to play with.

Our family enjoyed many Boynton board books, and this was one of our favourites. The simple, clear and cheerful drawings are great for very young children. We read this so often we had it memorized, and our toddlers loved it. Great for little kids, even before they can talk, up to age 4 or 5.
