Stegosaurus

Plates along the back and spikes on the tail make Stegosaurus one of the easiest dinosaurs for a small child to recognise. Wonder House Books devotes this board book to that single animal, pairing a few lines of plain text on each spread with illustration of the dinosaur in its landscape. Written for children from about three years, it introduces basic ideas about what the animal ate and where it lived without technical language. The sturdy format allows the book to be carried about, read in the car and returned to at will. Who it suits and why: • Built around a dinosaur children identify on sight • Text from roughly age three upwards • Notes on feeding and habitat kept free of jargon • Board format that travels well Aimed at preschool dinosaur enthusiasts and the adults reading with them, published by Wonder House Books, in the early learning range at Boipoka.
