Hey, guys!

This book was sent to me by the publisher for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I was not financially compensated for this review.

This was a really quirky and lovely book for early readers. I really enjoyed the art style, the clever one-liners for each letter, and the many engaging qualities fo the little characters.

This is definitely going to be a favorite of the little babies and 1-5 aged kiddos. They are going to love to make the sounds and sound out the words. It's simple enough to challenge early readers, engage the non-reading readers, and inspire kids to continue to read.

Bravo Krauss and Ruzzier!

Happy reading!

{Review} Dinosnores by Sandra Boynton

43212445. sx318

Page Count: 24
Published On: September 3, 2019
Published By: Workman Publishing Company
Genre(s): Children's, Picture Book
Source: board book provided by publisher and Bookish First
Where To Find It: Amazon // Book Depository

My Rating: 5 stars










Goodreads synopsis:

“Honk SHOOOOOO! Honk SHOOOOOO! . . .”     

The snoring goes on, on and on through the night. They never stop snoring till the first morning light.

 
Ah, all those dinosaurs look so cute in their pajamas. See them yawn and stretch and brush their teeth. Soon they’ll be sound asleep, and . . . OH NO! SNORING!!!
 
Little kids love big dinosaurs. They also love the sublime silliness of Sandra Boynton books. So what better way to wind down at the end of the day than with DINOSNORES, a rhyming and rhythmic ritual of getting ready for bed—featuring a pile of loudly snoozing dinos.

Hey, guys!

This was such a wonderful little board book. Once again, Sandra Boynton has created such beautiful art and a story that will captive the youngest readers. i absolutely adored this little story and I was so happy to revisit the author that is such a lovely part of my childhood. 

This story is so freaking delightful and I cannot recommend it enough for the little readers in your life. I cannot wait to read Sandra Boynton stories to my own future kids. 

This book is recommended for readers 0-8, is printed as a thick board book that will withstand any sticky, little fingers. 


Happy reading!
