We were a little disappointed with this book and a couple of the other board books in this series. Our one-year-old son LOVES the full size "How Do Dinosaurs" story books, but he hardly pays attention to the board books.

First of all, the words and rhymes aren't as clever. Maybe the concept of counting or colors just isn't as good of a material as going to bed, eating your food, or going to the doctor.

Second, the books are short and the artwork is very scaled down and much simpler. My son loves the artwork in the bigger books but the white background in these is kind of boring.

Maybe time will tell, but he is getting past the board book stage and I am just not sure that these books will hold the attention of kids who are at an age for learning colors or numbers. I wish there was a full-size version, and I wish I had known the content of the board books was not as good as the big books. Now YOU do!

HOW DO DINOSAURS COUNT TO TEN not only provides a way for very young children to learn to count. It also feeds into the way a kid thinks. The various dinosaurs who do the counting have human mons who cheer them on to learn. Kids will identify with the concept. A child can be a dinosaur today, and his Mom can be a person. Also Mom stays in the background making the dinosaur/child the center of attention, providing a supportive 'I can do it myself' climate. While cartoonish and playful, the pictures represent dinosaurs accurately enough to recognize them. T. Rex helps with the counting, as does Ptaradactyl, and a few others I can't spell or pronounce. But as I've learned from my 5 year-old-neighbor, the kids should be have no trouble informing the adults in their lives which dion is who. As the dinosaurs count, they play with the toys they are counting, which adds to the fun. The books themselves are sturdy and will withstand rough handling by really little tykes. They're also a convenient size for toddlers to hold. Anybody who has a junior dinosaur fan around the house should look at HOW DO DIONSAURS COUNT TO TEN.

My son absolutely loves this book. He also has How do dinosaurs clean their rooms. These are really great books illustrated with realistic but friendly dinos doing everyday kid activities. I highly recommend them as they are fun to read for the adult as well (some books lose their charm after being read aloud for 43 days).

...it's Baby that adores Dinosaurs!
I found this book to be cute, fun, and semi-educational...the first 27 times I read it. My 11 mo old daughter LOVES this book. She is constantly grabbing it and crawling into my lap. Again and again. She has more board books then any one kid should and for some reason this is her very favorite. I can't explain it, but she gives it 5 stars.

If you don't have any of the books in this series, definitely get one! But...unless you have a kid who is REALLY into these books the dinosaurs, etc...one is plenty because they are so similar i can't remember which one i have read! and my oldest son LOVES dinosaurs!

Whether you dig dinosaurs or not, this is the way to count. From toys to dirty socks, this book gets you from one to ten again and again. The pictures are a little sparse, but the book is still a dinosaur lovers delight.

We have this book and several other from this series. My three year old thinks these are the greatest books ever.

The only problem I have with them is I sometimes have to read the 6 or 7 times a night.

I love this book. It is a book that my 2 year old is interested in while I am slipping some numbers education in. Besides the fact that it has dinosaurs...

My 2 year old son LOVES his dinosaur books! He always says "more dinosaur book"! This was the first one I purchased for him. I has great realistic drawings of dinosaurs playing with things any kid in daycare or preschool would know! Of course it has counting which any parent loves from an educational standpoint. Also, all the pictures of the dinosaurs have the name of the dinosaur right next to it in small print so when your child wants to know the name of that dinosaur, you don't have to make it up! All in all, this is just a cute book!

Another great Dinosaur Book !! Not only is it teaching numbers, but it does so in a fun way for kids to learn .
The animation and words are easy for children to understand and an easy read for toddlers !
