Dinoblock (Alphablock) Read Free Books and Download eBooks
Following in the footsteps of the groundbreaking Alphablock and Countablock, Dinoblock features thick pages cut into the shapes of dinosaurs! Readers will be introduced to more than 20 different kinds of dinos via die-cuts of their unique silhouettes and the illuminating comparisons to familiar things from a young child’s world. I stretch high like the ladder on a fire truck. I am a Brachiosaurus. As children touch the pages, they have a chance to guess the dinosaur and appreciate the uniqueness of its silhouette. A final gatefold delivers a roundup of all the dinos included. This hands-on approach, delivered in colorful pages by hip British design team Peskimo, makes for an immersive, age-appropriate introduction to a favorite topic of childhood.

My daughter loves all things dinosaur, and she spied this book at the bookstore. She loved it but we didn't get it due to the price. Every time we went to the book store after that she asked for me to read her this book before we went home. Found it on for a lower price and got it for her as an end of the month surprise for filling up her responsibility chart each month and she was so excited to receive it! I had thought that since it is such a short book, meant for younger children (she is 3 and will sit for pretty long books) that it would lose its appeal quickly, but she really loves it. I like that each dinosaur name has a pronunciation guide, though quite a few of them I knew from watching Dinosaur Train with my daughter. A few dinosaurs I was completely unfamiliar with, so the pronunciation guides are much appreciated. The illustrations are very nice and I think my daughter really enjoys turning the flaps. It is a beautiful book and I am very pleased with having purchased it.
Another winner in Franceschelli's series of "block" books. These books feature clever illustrations and thick cardstock pages that stand up to even the most fervent fan of dinosaurs. You can't go wrong with any of this series, but for young children interested in dinosaurs, this one is a real page-turner.
I purchased this for my 3 year-old niece and 2 year-old nephew. I wanted to find them a somewhat educational dinosaur book since they had taken an interest in "monsters". I chose this one mainly because it has simple pronunciation guides for the dinosaurs' names, which will be helpful when the kids' mom and dad read the book to them. Or, when the kids start reading on their own. Besides that handy feature, many of the pages are fold-out. My nephew liked this feature a lot. He seemed to like the tactile aspect of the book, basically fun to play with.If you're looking for a sturdy dinosaur book that's a bit interactive and parent-friendly, I'd highly recommend this one.
After checking out Alphablock and Countablock, I was excited to check out Dinoblock. It is a small but thick hardcover book that is packed with all things dinosaur. Each page is thick and durable, perfect for little ones. The pages read various things like "I am tall like a six-story building" and then the next page will read "I am a Sauroposeidon." It then breaks it down how to pronounce the dinosaur. I love how the illustrations are simple but colorful. Every other page has a notch cut out which makes it easy to flip pages for kids. I honestly had no idea there were so many dinosaurs and I love how this book explains each dinosaur and how to pronounce them. Lots of dinosaur fun!
My kids (2 and 4) got DinoBlock for Christmas and both they love it. Cute illustrations and fun to flip board-book pages with cool cut-outs (like rattlesnake fangs). They love the comparisons to present-day animals and construction equipment sizes, etc. And thank goodness they have pronunciation help for parents!
Excellent book for the little ones. Each dinosaur name has a pronunciation guide for the parents, which is a big help. A wide variety of 'Saurs are covered, from old favorites to new ones for both parent and child to explore. Highly recommended.
What's not to love? The illustrations are great; clean, bright and fun. There's a ton of dinosaurs. The comparisons to things toddlers will recognize is really clever. My favorite part as a parent though? PRONUNCIATIONS! Seriously, I don't know if this is a problem for everyone, but I read a ton of dinosaur books, and they very rarely contain pronunciations. Some are obvious, but others...not so much. Very frustrating.
We already have and love Alphablock. When we saw Dinoblock it was a no brainer for our dinosaur loving 2.5 year old daughter! I love that it has comparisons for each dinosaur because it sparks so much brain power for little ones. It has a fold out cover for both front and back which is always fun for little ones. The dinosaurs also aren't all super common which makes it a learning tool for all of us. It has the pronunciations as well because lord knows I can't figure 90% of them out on my own! I can't say enough about this book. It also the same height as Alphablock so they fit beautifully on a shelf together!
