Dinoblock (An Abrams Block Book) - Hardcover
Following in the footsteps of the groundbreaking Alphablock and Countablock, Dinoblock features thick pages cut into the shapes of dinosaurs! Readers will be introduced to more than 20 different kinds of dinos via die-cuts of their unique silhouettes and the illuminating comparisons to familiar things from a young child’s world. I stretch high like the ladder on a fire truck. I am a Brachiosaurus. As children touch the pages, they have a chance to guess the dinosaur and appreciate the uniqueness of its silhouette. A final gatefold delivers a roundup of all the dinos included. This hands-on approach, delivered in colorful pages by hip British design team Peskimo, makes for an immersive, age-appropriate introduction to a favorite topic of childhood.

PreS-Gr 1—A companion volume to the author's Alphablock (2013) and Countablock (2014, both Abrams), this chunky block of a book, replete with flaps, offers tiny tots a litany of 21 dinosaurs. Beginning and ending with double-page fold-outs of a museum, the book presents no time line—indeed, there's no real organization—leaving that to more serious offerings. The book follows the same formula for each dinosaur: a spread mentioning a single characteristic ("I am quick like a fox" or "I burrow like a rabbit"), featuring a cutaway flap that is followed by a simple illustration relating the characteristic to a real-world association, such as a fire truck indicating the relative height of one dino. Franceschelli also includes the dinosaur's name and a phonetic spelling to help with pronunciation. The bright illustrations tend away from violent imagery. Even toothy T. rex, out in a thunderstorm, appears more anxious than aggressive. Though the pages are thinner than those in most board books, the binding and flaps are nonetheless quite sturdy. VERDICT Board book lovers and beyond will enjoy this fun look at dinos.—Patricia Manning, formerly at Eastchester Public Library, NY
