Dinosaur ABC Coloring Book (Dover Alphabet Coloring Books)

I would definitely say this is a unique kind of coloring book in this group. It's more like a coloring info book hybrid, whereas it has informational pages explaining all the dinosaurs and what we know about them, it even talks about colors of the dinosaurs and has explanations for things. It makes it sort of like an informational book as well as a coloring book. There are medium detailed pages with the letter and the corresponding dinosaur with that letter starting its name as an example, making it simple yet interesting enough of designs for kids and adults, mostly befitting a wide variety of ages. So the coloring pages are one page per letter, double sided, on a higher quality white paper that's definitely thicker than most typical coloring books, which tends to be a thinner, kind of brown recycled looking page. The cover of the book has kind of a waxy/plastic coating to it, making it more durable than typical coloring book covers. Although these pages aren't perforated, it feels like they should be. You could easily paint these pages and not be too worried about it passing through, if only they were one sided and didn't have another image on the other side. My two year old loves water color painting, so I just make copies of these pages on regular printed paper for him to paint over and over to his heart's content. I will upload some images in a bit, as I know when I look for books this is one of the qualities in reviews that is a real deciding factor. I took a chance on this book not knowing, and I feel it was worth the $4 for a more unique kind of coloring book that I can actually read to my dinosaur obsessed kiddo. The images are detailed enough that I think an older than toddler child would enjoy coloring in it, but not so highly detailed that your toddler/preschooler won't have a hard time coloring details or staying within the lines. I honestly wasn't expecting much out of this one but I'm glad we got it. My son already knows all but 3 letters of his alphabet, and I love that I can use something he loves (painting, coloring and dinos) as a new medium for his learning.

My 2 year old son is obsessed with dinosaurs. I am a reading teacher and I care so much about his education. I ordered several of these coloring books to send to his sitter’s house- one per child. I got the same one so they wouldn’t fight over them. They study a letter a week. Each week they color one picture. The pictures are simple. I love that it’s educational and something he’s really interested in.

Got this initially to occupy my four-year-old on the plane. My son and I absolutely love this book! I love that the name of the dinosaur is written on each page and that there is an index in the back with a write-up on each one. This makes it very interactive and educational. The drawings have a lot of detail as well. The pages are good quality too and for such a great price! If your kid is a dinosaur lover, this is the perfect book!

In fact, my only issue with Dover's coloring books is that they seem almost *too* nice to color at all.That said, we bought this for my two-year old daughter to color in. She's a big dinosaur fan - and we figured she might benefit from associating the letters (that hasn't panned out) with the dinosaurs. She has, however, learned some new dinosaur names. There are, as one might guess, some pretty obscure ones in this book. As with our other Dover coloring books, this one is so functional as a reading book for a young child that it may be years before we ever get around to using it for its stated purpose.That said, you really get your money's worth with these books. They're fine for a stand alone read, and when the kids get older, they are perfect for creative coloring.

Nice pictures! Little one learns letters and dino info. The pages are not thin cheap kind. Really enjoy Dover coloring books.

Great looking favor bags. Everyone at my sons birthday party loved them. They were a bit small as I had a 8x9 book and could really close the draw strings but other than I would highly recommend them

My four year old is a dinosaur fanatic. He absolutely loves this coloring book. The Alphabetimals coloring book was his favorite letter coloring book. This is a great quality. Paper is standard sized- this is not the miniature one.

Excellent coloring book. This has dinosaur facts at the beginning of the book which is great. The book is various dinosaurs alphabetized. Great learning resource.

My 2 1/2 year old is obsessed with dinosaurs and this Coloring book actually teaches him letters as he goes.

Bon rapport qualité prix!

Good information, a bit busy for my toddler but he enjoys learning about the Dino’s.

Perfect
