Ten Little Dinosaurs

By Mike Brownlow

Ten Little Dinosaurs set off in search of adventure … But what will the Ten Little Dinosaurs do when they meet a grumpy triceratops? And a stomping diplodocus? And a HUNGRY T-REX? Part traditional counting rhyme, part fun-filled story, Ten Little Dinosaurs is perfect for sharing together. Read the bouncy rhyming story. Count from ten to one and back again, as the Little Dinosaurs disappear then reappear. Spot and count the details on each page. And join in with all the great sound-words!

This rhyming dinosaur book can be used in speech therapy to address adjectives, action verbs and sequencing.
