{Synopsis} – What do dinosaurs love? Do they eat stinky socks and sleep in a space rocket? Do they play soccer, do dinosaurs eat lollipops in the swamp? Choose from 15 push-out play pieces to create a funny story. Children can slot their chosen play piece into each picture to decide what happens next. Dinosaurs LOVE Stinky Socks! encourages imaginative play as the reader matches and sorts the play pieces to build and create their own story, again and again.
{My thoughts} – Dinosaurs, Who doesn’t love them? They are rather incredible creatures. My daughter has recently decided that she has an interest in dinosaurs and wants to read about them. She use to ignore the dinosaur books on her shelf, now she brings them to me more and more wanting to have them read to her. That helped to make this a really wonderful addition to our bookshelf.
This is a really fun book. It is nice and bright on all the pages. It helps to catch and hold your child’s attention. When you open the book you have the same nice bright colorful illustrations. The text is written in nice and short sentences that are easy to understand.
Upon opening the book you will notice that there is an empty square in the middle of the text. That square is so you can take pieces from the far right and place them there to help create your own story. My daughter absolutely loves this part of the book. She enjoyed taking each piece and moving them to the middle after I’d shown her how and having me read what the story changed to.
I really enjoyed reading this book with her and I know she enjoyed it as well. There were even points in the reading where things we just silly and she started laughing. She’d found the humor in some of the pieces as I was reading the book. I look forward to reading books similar to this one with her in the future!
Final Conclusion: 5 Star Rating.
