(3) PS Illustrated by Steve Jenkins. Bites taken out of the pages provide young dinosaur lovers with a tactile shiver as they count through this collection of prehistoric beasts (pronunciation guide for the five dinosaurs included). The board book's back matter includes age-appropriate information on what the dinosaurs really ate and a one-to-ten review of items within the illustrations that can be counted. An impressive introduction to nonfiction.
