Dinosaur Countdown

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.
