It's a new school year! Can you believe that? Our local county kids went back today and the city kids go back tomorrow. Since school starts in August now instead of September, the summer seems so short. Well, whether we like it or not, it's time to get back to the studies! With a
new school year now beginning, maybe it's time to add new books to your child's home library. Perhaps you are a teacher who would like to add new books to your classroom. Well, kids love dinosaurs and Usborne Books has a huge selection of dinosaur books for kids.
Be sure to click though the links to my Usborne website. Usborne sometimes gives you a sneak peak at a few inside pages.
One of our favorite dinosaur books is I'm a Dirty Dinosaur by Janeen Brian and Ann James. You can read my review of this book right here on this blog
here.
Stomp, splash, slide, dive … This little dinosaur just loves
mud! What does a cheeky little dinosaur with a dirty snout do? Why
stomp about getting dirtier and dirtier, of course!
Children will
delight in this dirty dinosaur’s playful antics and just may want to
join in with the sniffing, snuffing, shaking, tapping, stamping,
splashing and sliding, not to mention the mud!
A celebration of messiness and an irresistible read-aloud!
