Let's Look at Dinosaurs

Frances Barry · 2011
76/100
👍 Worth It

Frances Barry's flip-the-flap dinosaur book hits the sweet spot for toddlers — beautiful collage art, sturdy interactive pages, and just enough dinosaur facts to spark curiosity without overwhelming a two-year-old. Kirkus noted the format as simple, sturdy, and genuinely engaging, and that's the right call. It's not going to satisfy a curious six-year-old who wants to know the difference between a Stegosaurus and an Ankylosaur, but for the target age it's a well-made, well-reviewed picture-book science introduction.
