Today we have a treat for any dinosaur mad book lover who also loves emergency vehicles. Dinosaur Rescue! sounded and looked just up Monkey’s street before we’d even opened the first page.
Dinosaur Rescue! is a 32 page paperback picture book, written and illustrated by Penny Dale. It was published in January of this year, and features a free stories aloud smartphone audio book.
There is a lot of repetitive text throughout Dinosaur Rescue! which makes it a great book for kids to get involved with. As the first pages feature a steam train with a dinosaur as a train driver, Monkey was hooked immediately. The short lines of text also help to build the urgency of the situation as a pick up truck gets stuck across a level crossing. We were both kept on tender hooks.
The illustrations are full of action and help to build the tension, can all the emergency services and the multitude of dinosaurs work together to save the day?
Dinosaur Rescue! is the third in a series of Dinosaur stories from Penny Dale. I’m off in search of Dinosaur Dig! as I just know Monkey will love that too.
