Recently, we came across "My First Discoveries" series of non-fiction books, and we are loving it! The spiral-bound Dinosaurs book (buy here) is just the right level for a 3-year-old. This book boasts beautiful bright illustrations and factual details with child-friendly comparisons such as "Which dinosaur was as long as two buses?", "Which dinosaur could fly?" and "Where did dinosaurs lay their eggs?" Also, transparent overlays add a different fun dimension to a traditional reading.
Some scientists estimate Brachiosaurus to weigh about 60 tons (120,000 lbs), according to 2014 study in the journal PLOS Biology, but how useful is this information to a three-year old? This Dinosaurs book, on the other hand, explains that Brachiosaurus weighed as much as twenty elephants, which is more relatable to a child!
Overlay pages surprise a child to see the reverse sides of the picture.
Illustrations are bright and inviting, with just enough factual details.
