The best fiction/non fiction for dinosaur topic?

[Guest]

Hello!

 

We are starting a new topic based around prehistoric life/dinosaurs which will last around 4 weeks (depending on the interests of the children). Ideally I would like 4 focus books for the topic and several books to support, after researching dinosaur books on the internet i now have a very long list but i am unsure of which are of the best quality texts as i havnt read many of them! This is the list which i have compiled:

Harry and the bucketful of dinosaurs

Katie and the dinosaurs

Zog

Stomp, chomp, big roars, here come the dinosaurs

Dinosaurs love underpants

Tyrannosaurus drip

Trouble at the dinosaur cafe

Saturday night at the dinosaur stomp

Dinosaurs galore!

Bumpus, jumpus, dinosaurumpus

Crunch, munch, dinosaur lunch

The dinosaur egg

How do dinosaurs say goodnight

(plus a variety of non-fiction!!!)

Could anyone recommend which books they have used for this topic please?

 

Thank you in advance!

"How to grow a dinosaur" is a really good book, cant remember the Author but will look tomorrow when i go into work.

Our children loved Dinsosaur Roar ( opposites) , DInosaurs Galore and Dinosaur rumpus (great for rhythm/movement).

Check out the dinosaur eggs on Alastair Bryce-Cleggs Blog - we made these in the summer and were great fun!

My kids loved 'Dinosaur roar', they were able to learn it off by heart (talk 4 writing) plus there is a non-fiction book related to it called 'Dinosaur more'. Loved 'Ten terrible dinosaurs' too.

Tom and the Island of Dinosaurs....brilliant and there are so many ideas based around the story you can use it to cover every area of the curriculum and your continous provision too!
