"Ten terrible dinosaurs standing in a line..." I haven't read this book to my three year old son in several months yet the words are still memorable. One of his preschool teachers had brought it in and it was an instant hit with the class! It introduces young children the concept of counting backwards. Also, with the bright colors and action words a young child's vocabulary may be increased. Overall, a wonderful book for children and their parents!

This book is one of my 3 year old son's favorites at the moment (especially the picture with the dinosaur who ate too much). The illustrations are very bright and colorful. Text is simple but fun for counting down from 10 to 1.

My son loves dinosaurs and is learning to count so this book is quite appealing. I love the illustrations myself and the rhymes are fun and easy to read.

The book is cute and the text is fun. However, I bought this book expecting the illustrations to be as creative and detailed as Dinosaur Roar. It was a let down in comparison.

I feel obligated to provide this review on behalf of my 3 year old son. Ten Terrible Dinosaurs was given to us as a gift and not necessarily a book I would have chosen - however, my son LOVES it, and it doesn't seem to be a passing phase, for the last several months it has been a frequent bedtime request. I suppose it has everything a 3 year old could want - dinosaurs, counting and it ends with a giant ROAR!

There are ten terrible dinosaurs in the story. The creatures push, shove, spike, and pop each other. Yet, they also, dance, smile and play goofy tricks on the other animals. In other words, the children will see themselves in the illustrations of the book. Plus, they will learn to count backwards.

If you have a dinosaur love in your house, then this book will certainly please them! It's a fun counting book that also will help a child learn their colors. My one issue with the book has to do with the illustrations of the dinosaurs when they blend together. I think for a small child trying to learn to count, the added task of sorting out the dinos might make the book a bit frustrating.
