The roaring starts before breakfast, and your child already knows more dinosaur names than you do. It starts with a dinosaur being tucked into bed and ends with the true story of how anyone ever worked out what dinosaurs looked like — every step along the way fed by the thing they already love.
What climbs on this trail is two things at once: how hard the book is to read, and how real the dinosaurs get. It opens with a cuddly bedtime dinosaur and a toddler's first facts. From there it moves through a child's first chapter-book adventure, and finishes in a fat reference book and a true story about the man who built the first dinosaurs anyone had ever seen. A dinosaur-obsessed child will follow dinosaurs anywhere; this order just makes sure each step is one they're ready to read and ready to feel.
