COPY ISBN

Toddler-PreS–Recast classics with a dinosaur theme feel rewritten through search-and-replace: “Dino Had a Little Lamb,” “Little Dinosaur Blue” (come blow your horn, the sheep’s in the meadow…), “Old MacDino Had a Farm,” and more appear in this board book, and if the toddlers visiting your collection are already dino-obsessed, this is the book. The verses do not scan, the results are lackluster, the illustrations add little.

VERDICT Only for the collection that is really pining for it.
