Easy Dinosaur Coloring Book

About this book

The book opens with a tall long-necked dinosaur, a baby triceratops sitting with its frill spread and a baby T-rex waving one tiny arm. Next come a duck-billed dinosaur with a curved crest walking past a leaf, an ankylosaurus covered in round back plates, and a baby peeking out of a spotted egg. The second half adds a pteranodon with folded wings, a baby stegosaurus with a row of back plates, a hatchling next to a second unhatched egg, a long-necked dinosaur drinking from a small pond, a spinosaurus with its tall back sail and a dome-headed dinosaur holding a leaf. Because almost every page shows a different body shape, the book doubles as a simple dinosaur name game. Lines are clean and wide, and the few patterns are large spots, plates and belly stripes that young children can color one area at a time.
