In fact, my only issue with Dover's coloring books is that they seem almost *too* nice to color at all.

That said, we bought this for my two-year old daughter to color in. She's a big dinosaur fan - and we figured she might benefit from associating the letters (that hasn't panned out) with the dinosaurs. She has, however, learned some new dinosaur names. There are, as one might guess, some pretty obscure ones in this book. As with our other Dover coloring books, this one is so functional as a reading book for a young child that it may be years before we ever get around to using it for its stated purpose.

That said, you really get your money's worth with these books. They're fine for a stand alone read, and when the kids get older, they are perfect for creative coloring.

I found this one very good for working with the alphabet. My granddaughter is only 3 but knows all of her letters and found the many different dinosaur's interesting. We had to find simpler names for them, but that was ok, it still worked out well.
