Extras

Camilla says: “We’re so delighted that those hard-working dinosaurs are back but, after all their efforts in DINOSAUR DIG!, it’s great to see them having a bit of downtime. Of course, dinosaur fun involves lots and lots of vehicles, and in true Nosy Crow style, an absolutely massive cake!”

Reviews

  • “Rhythmic prose and great use of sound words (Clatter! Sploosh! Thump!) combine to make Dinosaur Dig a delight to read aloud, whilst boasting big appeal for any kid who likes dinosaurs or diggers or a combination of both!”

    Kids Book Review

  • “Zoomin marvellous … Penny Dale’s picture is a rollocking dinosaur centric ride”

    We Love This Book

  • “Penny Dale has taken the ingenious decision to go the whole hog – or brontosaurus – here by combining outrageous dinosaurs with assorted heavy goods vehicles, sports cars, tractors and the like. For the prehistoric speed freak, this is a roaring delight”

    The Guardian

  • “Penny Dale has a new slant on ever-popular prehistoric animals in her picture book Dinosaur Zoom! Whether driving a blue convertible through the desert or reversing a lorry into the woods, these dinosaurs practically leap from the page.”

    The Independent

  • “Little boys love dinosaurs. Little boys love trucks. Put the two together in the worryingly appealing Dinosaur Zoom! and you have the recipe for a night-time battle over bedtime stories. Resign yourself to reading the same book over and over again for the next two years – and make sure it’s a girl next time.”

    The Telegraph

  • “A perfect mix of dinosaurs and trucks, lots of movement and action in the illustrations, and fun rhythmic text … All children’s libraries should have this one, it’s a keeper!”

    Youth Services Book Review

  • “This book is a pleasure for the eyes and a perfect read aloud for any small child up to age seven.”

    Portland Book Review

  • “Ten industrious dinosaurs work hard to make a swimming pool together, using a variety of construction vehicles in this fun and original counting book full of loud noises … this book will also appeal to girls with its bright colours and humourous detail of dinosaurs squeezing into diggers, drinking cups of tea and having fun together.”

    Booktrust

  • “Bright busy pictures full of detail will capture children’s attention as they enjoy this romp through a digging project.”

    Parents in Touch

  • “A perfect picture book. Let me count the ways: Dinosaurs – tick; Diggers – tick; counting – tick; proper story – tick. And here’s the bonus point: endpapers where the front one gives all the dinosaurs their proper names and the back one all the diggers”
