Roar! I’m a Dinosaur
written and illustrated by Merrill Rainey
An introductory book about dinos wows kids with eye cutouts to peek through. With the pages facing out, they can peer through the holes and pretend to be a T. rex, a stegosaurus or another featured creature. The simple but effective rhyming text highlights a fact about each species. Ages 0 to 4
Tester Note: “I would read the sentence about the dinosaur and then flip the book to peer out at my son. He. Loved. It. I couldn’t believe it,” said one reviewer.
