Finally, this one is for the parents who squirm when their child produces a blank piece of paper with a crayon and requests "Can you draw a dinosaur for me?" Aaargh. I have little to no artistic ability and my dinosaurs looks more like ... blobs with claws. Thank goodness for this clever book!Here, an actual artist has drawn ten dinosaurs that far surpass my blob results, and actually look like the dinosaurs they are supposed to be! Your child cuts out the individual body parts, then assembles them to create an army of ferocious dinosaurs. The pages are perforated for easy removal and each piece is marked on the back with a letter key for easy assembly. It gets better. For each fully colored page, there is also a separate page with black and white line drawing of the same dinosaur. Identical set up, but these are perfect for kids that want to exercise more creativity by coloring in the dinosaurs themselves.The first few pages of the book contain a short paragraph of information on each dinosaur, including body measurements, diet and a brief general summary. In case your kids are particular about the dinosaurs they construct, the choices are as follows: Allosaurus, Ankylosaurus, Baryonyx, Brachiosaurus, Ouranosaurus, Parasaurolophus, Pteranodon, Stegosaurus, Triceratops, Tyrannosaurus Rex.This was an instant hit at our house. I produced the book, scissors, colored pencils and we started right in. A word of caution - you do have to purchase mini brads or fasteners so that the parts will be movable. We were delighted to find that the assembly directions are super easy to follow: place the pieces face down and match A Front to A Back, B Front to B Back, and so on.
