Why read Dinosaur ABCs with your child
Go letter by letter, and let your child guess what each dinosaur looked like before you read its facts. Ankylosaurus was big and strong like a tank, Diplodocus stretched its long neck to tall trees, and Stegosaurus wore plates on its back. Pause and ask which dinosaur your child would most want to meet, and which one they would keep far away.
Talk about it together
- Which dinosaur would you most want to meet?
- Which dinosaur would you keep far away from?
- If you could name a dinosaur, what would you call it?
