Cute Dinosaur Coloring Book

About this book

A stegosaurus paints spots on a big egg, a baby triceratops pulls a wooden wagon full of leaves, and a baby T-rex stirs a mixing bowl next to a few cookies. A brachiosaurus holds a leafy branch hung with little stars, an ankylosaurus has a picnic with a basket and apples on a checkered blanket, and a duck-billed dinosaur plays a marching drum. On the second row of pages a pteranodon flies between clouds with a flower in its beak, two babies build a tower of blocks, a spinosaurus fishes in a pond, a velociraptor blows bubbles, a baby long-neck splashes in rain boots, and a diplodocus holds up a flower wreath. The dinosaurs keep their spots, frills and plates, and the props add wheels, cookies, checks and bubbles to color. It suits children who already know their dinosaurs and want scenes rather than single portraits.
