Noisy Dinosaur (I Can Learn)

NOISY DINOSAUR is a cute and interactive board book that encourages children to explore through sound. The book includes a brief rhyme on each page with an invitation to press a part of the dinosaur (such as the head or foot) to hear a type of sound (roaring or stomping). Other dinosaurs and elements of the background images are labeled for early word recognition.

What I loved: The interactive element of this book is really fun. Children are invited to press on parts of the dinosaur to hear the sound, helping to label body parts for them as they have fun with listening. The sound element can be turned on and off on the back, which is really helpful as well. The dinosaur itself is textured, which makes it fun for them to explore and feel. Colorful and busy images on each page can help to capture attention, along with some silly dialogue from the dinosaurs and labeled objects/dinosaurs for early word recognition. There is also a little dinosaur hidden on each page for a seek-and-find for older toddlers to keep them engaged.

This book can be enjoyed at different levels and would work well for young toddlers all the way through preschoolers, particularly those who love engaging with books. The interactive elements, rhyming text, colorful illustrations, and labeled objects/dinosaurs are all really great for this age.

Final verdict: NOISY DINOSAUR is an entertaining and interactive board book that will thrill young toddlers through preschoolers with engaging sounds, colorful and detailed images, and rhyming text. Recommend for children who love to engage with their books and who enjoy exploring noises!
