Synopsis

They've built, they've zoomed, they've rescued, they've flown into space and they've even fought off baddy pirates, but now our dynamic team of dinosaurs have moved to pastures new - literally - working hard on the Dinosaur Farm! Join them as they plough the stony soil, feed the sheep, cut the corn in a combine harvester and much more! But what are they preparing all their animals and crops for? And where are they travelling to in their tractor? Why, it's a farm show! But will they win the grand prize?

Reviews

Dinosaur Farm - as the title suggests - features 'farmer dinosaurs' doing various jobs around their farm. The inside front cover informs the reader of the names of the different dinosaurs featured, and the rear inside cover features the different machinery used on the farm - both great educational tools for the reader. The pages each have a simple sentence explaining what the dinosaurs are doing, using farm specific vocabulary, along with a repeated phrase. & There isn't a linear story as such, but this book would be of interest to children who enjoy dinosaurs, farms or both! The basic, repetitive structure means its more suited to younger readers, who would need an adult to help explain some of the specific vocabulary. This would be a good book to share in an early years setting for this reason. Picture book / Ages 3+ / Reviewed by Lizi Backhouse, teacher.
