Dinosaur Boo!

Dinosaur Boo! follows a mischievous Deinonychus who loves playing tricks on other dinosaurs — until the joke turns back on him. It is part of the World of Dinosaur Roar! series developed with Jeanne Willis and verified by Dr. Paul Barrett of the Natural History Museum, London, which means the dinosaur facts tucked in the back are actually accurate, not just decorative. The rhyming text reads aloud beautifully, and the gentle lesson about mischief landing on the trickster lands without being heavy-handed. Honest caveat: as a collectible board book series, the individual stories are short and thin on their own — the real draw is the series as a whole, which may prompt buying multiple titles. For preschool dinosaur fans, a delightful pick.
