Description
About the book. My First Lift-the-Flap Dinosaur Atlas takes young readers into the world of dinosaurs through colourful maps and more than 50 flaps. This book from Lonely Planet Kids introduces dinosaurs from different parts of the world and shows how geography can be used to explore the past. The text is written by Kate Baker, with illustrations by Teresa Bellon.
Content. The spreads look at where the dinosaurs lived, what they ate, and what their days may have looked like. Well-known animals such as Tyrannosaurus rex and Diplodocus appear alongside other dinosaurs. After an introduction to the world of dinosaurs, chapters follow on North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, Oceania, and Antarctica. The flaps reveal further facts and details within the illustrated scenes.
Who is this book suitable for? Suitable for dinosaur-loving children who want to point, search, and open little flaps while learning new words. The atlas format makes it possible to compare continents and spot different animals across them. The sample pages shown include both an introduction and maps of North America and Europe. The English text can happily be read aloud and discussed together in Norwegian.
Read together and discover more. Read together with an adult who can help with the English words, and let the child point out details to explore further. Take it one spread or one story at a time, and let curiosity decide how long you linger on each topic. Talk about what you notice, and connect the reading to places, animals, or stories the child already knows. Flip back to old favourites; a fresh look can bring new questions and discoveries at the next reading session. A physical book makes it easy to show each other a picture and share small discoveries without following a set order. Feel free to use a map alongside the book when a place name sparks curiosity, and find out together where in the world it is. Alternate between reading aloud and looking at the illustrations, so that both text and pictures have room in the conversation.
