Can anyone recommend a good one for a just turned 3 year old?

He wants to learn all their names etc so thinking not a story book but having no luck finding one.

Thanks

Usborne have a few. The 'lift the flap' question and answer books are great as are the sticker books.

If you have a kindle then we have the pink fong Dino app- my 2 1/2 year old knows more than me and it's thanks to that.

Op, my ds2 is obsessed with dinosaurs and knows most of their names. I think his book is from national geographic. When I get home tonight I will post the book

The Usbourne Big Book of Dinosaurs has really stood the test of time in our family, got for dd1's 3rd birthday, still looked at now age 7.

When he is a bit older please do buy him "Edwina, The Dinosaur Who Didn't Know She Was Extinct" by Mo Willems.

In fact Mo Willems books are fantastic at that age.

Hi, may not be what you are looking for but I bought dinosaur sounds by Jonathan litten and the dinosaur roar range by natural history museum for our 2 1/2 year old granddaughter for Christmas. Both really good. One names several as well as making sounds and the other spells the names out phonetically which I think will help us grown ups pronounce some of the harder names I've never heard of.

Mrsfussypants1 · 21/10/2018 17:53

I had found the above in our local tk max for half price they were on amazon. I'm sure they had more grown up ones there too.

Yeah there's a smallish usborne one with flaps to lift that my 3yo loves

MamaRaisingBoys · 21/10/2018 21:59

Wow didn’t expect this many responses, thank you.

Dinosaur wrapping paper looks fab Grin

We got dinosaur obsessed eldest a national geographic one from Amazon when he was 2. He's 5 now and still loves it! It's helpful for parents because it has lots of dinosaurs names and a guide on how to pronounce them as well! It's bad when your 2.5 YO can say archaeornithomimus better than you.

This has been our absolute favourite from about age 4..... there are a few in the range

Although when trying to find the link I also stumbled upon this:. www.amazon.co.uk/Dinosaurium-Welcome-Museum-Chris-Wormell/dp/1783707925?tag=mumsnetforum-21
We already have a few other in the range so I bet this is beautiful!

Adds it to amazon shopping bag for pay day! 🤣🦖🦕

Sorry! Meant to add the pics! Even though the context was too challenging the images are amazing and mine loved these books x

Harry and the bucket full of dinosaurs

It's a story not a fact book, about a little boy who loves naming all his toy dinosaurs.

BooEekCackle · 22/10/2018 10:56

Sniff, wish my 2 boys were small again and into dinosaurs. Miss that age.

Oh maybe my first post didn’t work at all! My 2.5y/o loves the book I posted above. It has a bit of story/narrative plus individual named dinosaur pictures along the bottom of each page.

I've got this for my nearly 4 year old - The Little Kids Big Book of dinosaurs. It's probably quite grown up but will last him.
