Dinosaur Books

Post by Clinton Huxley » Fri Nov 20, 2009 4:51 pm

Ok, this thread is not about the merits of pineapple or transgender issues in a post-industrial context. Nor is it about string theory or strumpets.

My question is simple:-

Mini-Huxley 1 wants a book about dinosaurs for xmas. She's 4. Any recommendations.

That's proper recommendations. Come on, you can do it if you really concentrate..... :hehe:

Got this for my daughter last Christmas when she was four.

She giggled herself to sleep on Christmas night.

The format is very popular at the moment. We have the Egyptology and Piratology interactive books, too ...

And these two from Usborne are just great:

Fun, factual and beautifully presented books.

You can find some dinosaur stuff here: (she would probably love the flip book, and the giant timeline)

Thanks for the recommendations.

HBM, I'll have to box your ears for you! I'm using "Dinosaur" in the colloquial, generally accepted, every-day usage senseof the word. :lay: ;)
