In this simple and clever picture book from Nicholas Oldland, small children will have fun counting backward, as they’re introduced to different dinosaurs grouped from ten to two, and a final, single dinosaur. Then, in a unique twist, the book goes on to zero (because they’re extinct, silly!). Each number gets its own two-page spread, where it is both written as a numeral and spelled out as a word within the illustration’s description. The dinosaur names are appropriately long and tongue-twisting, one of the things young children love about dinosaurs – but not to worry, there’s a pronunciation guide at the end of the book.
