14 best books about dinosaurs for toddlers, preschoolers and more
The theme of dinosaurs has fascinated and attracted children for generations, so there are so many books about ancient dinosaurs that it is very easy to get confused when choosing. We have compiled a list of the most popular, most reliable and highest quality publications of recent years. Don't thank!
ENCYCLOPEDIA
1.
“Children's Encyclopedia. Dinosaurs”, publishing house “Rosmen” Let's start with publications that are so well established that they are reprinted again and again - for many years. These include, for example, the children's encyclopedia "Dinosaurs" - a bright colorful book with lively and very realistic pictures. Even a three-year-old will be happy to look at the illustrations in it, and the student will draw a lot of interesting information and facts.
2. Encyclopedia for kindergarten. Dinosaurs”, publishing house “Rosmen”
Another bestseller is the Dinosaurs edition of the Encyclopedia for Kindergarten series. Both children and adults love it for bright and reliable pictures - and for the simplicity of the information provided. You will see, soon even the most unpronounceable names of dinosaurs will be known by heart by the whole family.
3. Dinosaurs.
The Illustrated Atlas, Michael Brett-Shuman If not for the panorama book (which will be discussed below), the Illustrated Atlas would be the most impressive publication in our selection: large format, amazing illustrations, and even a full Dictionary of Dinosaurs with information about 140 (!) species. In addition, this book contains the results of the latest research and discoveries in the field of paleontology. In general, a huge beautiful and informative book for the most dedicated dinosaur lovers. nine0003
4. Encyclopedia of antiquities. Dinosaurs. Book-panorama”, Robert Sabuda
And here is the same book-panorama. Luxurious - let's not be afraid of this word - edition, a real work of art. On every page, in every pocket there is a surprise: the prickly back of an Ankylosaurus, the sharp horns of a Triceratops, or even the huge mouth of a Tyrannosaurus Rex. You can't put it down, the book is so captivating and unique.
And information about dinosaurs in it is presented in a simple and accessible way. The perfect gift for a young paleontologist! Unless, of course, close your eyes to the cost. nine0003
5. “Such different dinosaurs. Encyclopedia in pictures”, Victoria Zatolokina, Maria Melik-Pashaeva, Tatyana Rudenko
An extremely cute encyclopedia about dinosaurs with a curious structure: in the first part, the child gets acquainted with prehistoric times with the help of funny cartoon stories, and in the second part, a more serious encyclopedic part - learns in detail and in detail about each of the types of dinosaurs separately. The book tells about the environment in which dinosaurs lived, and about their way of life, and about the very process of studying ancient reptiles. nine0003
BOOKS WITH WINDOWS
6. “Magic windows. Dinosaurs, Robins Publishing House
All kids love books with windows - so feel free to choose this format for your first acquaintance with ancient dinosaurs.
For example, the book "Magic Windows" from the publishing house "Robins" - bright, colorful, with cheerful smiling dinosaurs, literally calling to make friends. At the same time, the book will tell about their lifestyle: where they lived, what they ate and how long they lived, as well as explain what fossils are and how they help scientists study dinosaurs. nine0003
7. Book with secrets. Discover the Mysteries of Dinosaurs, Robins
Also a bright book with windows, but suitable for older children: the images are more realistic here, and the information is more serious. The child will be able to study in detail the skeleton of a dinosaur, consider the fierce fights that took place in the world of lizards, and also find out about the origin of life in general. Behind each of the 65 flaps is a curious fact from the life of your favorite dinosaurs.
STICKERS, GAMES
8.
Super stickers. Dinosaurs”, publishing house “Makhaon” Well, what kind of children do not like stickers?! And if they are also on the theme of dinosaurs, then this is a double pleasure for the baby. Choose from a variety of albums with hundreds of colorful stickers and let your child create their own stories.
9. “Find and show. Dinosaurs”, Thierry Laval
The book from the most popular series “Find and show” is 5 spreads with a huge number of dinosaurs. Each panorama corresponds to a separate historical era, and the child's task is to find each of the dinosaurs depicted on a special valve. Believe me, this is an excellent training of attention and visual memory. nine0003
10. Dinosaurs. 4D Encyclopedia in Augmented Reality, Devar Publishing House
Not quite an ordinary - and maybe even quite unusual encyclopedia about dinosaurs. With its help, the child will be able to revive more than 30 different dinosaurs! After all, reading information about eating habits, size and weight with mom, looking at illustrations is one thing, but launching a moving triceratops with the help of a gadget, feeding it with fern leaves and even taking pictures with it is quite another.
The perfect combination of learning and fun. nine0003
ARTISTIC
11. "Dinosaurs and other reptiles", Elena Kachur
We are just crazy about Chevostik - and we do not hide it. And no less reverently than audio stories, we love printed books with questions from the inquisitive Chevostik and detailed answers from the omniscient Uncle Kuzi. "Dinosaurs and other reptiles" is like a story book about adventures, but with a huge educational overtones. From the conversations of Chevostik and Uncle Kuzi, the child learns a lot not only about the formidable ancient lizards, but also about their descendants, which we can see today: about lizards, crocodiles, turtles. We strongly recommend for preschool and primary school age. nine0003
12. School of dinosaurs. Diplodocus Becomes a Hero”, Gemme Pierre
An excellent format for younger children: simple, but kind and instructive stories about little dinosaurs who study in an unusual dinosaur school.
Pleasant illustrations, simple narrative language and a brief encyclopedic reference on a particular type of dinosaur - in each book in the series. Well, the names speak for themselves: “Deinosuchus forgot to brush his teeth”, “Stegosaurus celebrates a birthday”, “Brontosaurus is new in class”. nine0003
13. Magic book of dinosaurs. Jurassic Journey”, Anastasia Galkina
A wonderful series of children's preschool books about the adventures of the girl Rita and the boy Nikita - nothing less than that - in the prehistoric world! With the help of a magical book found in the attic, children travel to the distant past, to the Jurassic period, to meet cute brachiosaurs, allosaurs, and even a diplodocus baby there. A fascinating plot and the development of horizons - in one book. nine0003
14. Journey to the Dinosaurs by Gerald Durrell
Another great educational book about the adventures of children who traveled through time and found themselves in the world in the age of dinosaurs - but for an older audience.
By the way, we note that Gerald Durrell is a world-famous naturalist writer, so there is no doubt about the reliability of the facts mentioned.

10 cool books for young dinosaur lovers
10 cool books for young dinosaur loversFor subtle connoisseurs of the topic!
Almost all children 4-8 years old are interested in ancient lizards, and manufacturers respond to children's love by offering hundreds of themed products: rubber dinosaurs, plush toys, toy eggs from which dinosaurs hatch, and, of course, numerous encyclopedias with color images of fossil animals. Most of these publications are strikingly similar to each other: they depict approximately the same dinosaurs, list their possible qualities, and regrettably lack both an interesting, child-friendly narrative and a scientific consultant. But it doesn't matter, because we found some really good books about dinosaurs! nine0003
miraculous egg
Author and illustrator: Ipkar Dalov
Translator: Marina Aromstam
Publisher: Vector-Childhood
Age: 3-5 years old
In the distant, distant times, when there were no people in the world yet, but there were dinosaurs, an egg appeared. Nobody knew who it belonged to. While the reader, together with the author, will solve this riddle, he will get acquainted with a dozen different ancient lizards and find out how they lived and how they differed from each other. Although the book “The Miraculous Egg” has a plot, it is primarily educational: a short and interesting text introduces the baby to the beginnings of paleontology, and also does not bypass the theory of evolution, because at the very end it turns out where the birds came from.
Another good feature of the book is its good short descriptions of living beings (and here, apparently, it is worth thanking the translator), which are both capacious and interesting. It is with the help of such texts that it is worth teaching a child to talk about objects and phenomena of the world around him! The end of the book contains reference material: the names of the dinosaurs mentioned are written in syllables, and it also talks about the size of the giants. nine0003
Katy and dinosaurs
Author and Illustrator: James Mayhew
Translators: Olga Varshaver, Natalia Kaloshina
Publisher: Young Mama
Age: 3-5 years old nine0003
The heroine of a series of books by James Mayhew, Kati, often travels and goes to museums, along the way, very amazing things happen to her: either she gets inside the picture, or she helps Santa Claus deliver gifts to the houses of the festive night in London. In one of the books, Katya and her grandmother go to the Natural History Museum. While her grandmother was resting, Katya entered one of the museum doors and found herself in the Jurassic period. There, the girl met good herbivorous dinosaurs, was frightened by a predatory tyrannosaurus rex, and in the end treated him to her meat pie and safely returned back to the museum. nine0003
As in the previous edition, in the book about Katya, cognitive information, understandable to the youngest readers, is woven into the plot. From this fictional story in general (it is obvious that the girl cannot travel in time, and dinosaurs are not at all “kind” and certainly not talking), the kid learns quite a lot of reliable facts about ancient reptiles. For example, that real dinosaur bones can be seen in the museum, the giant lizards themselves were different and ate differently, and the climate and nature on the planet were different from the current ones. nine0003
How to raise a dinosaur?
Author: Jill Esbaum
Illustrator: Mike Boldt
Translator: Mikhail Wiesel nine0003
Publisher: Edited by Willy Winki
Age: 2-4 years old
Dinosaurs do not always become heroes of educational books.
Often the author composes a fairy tale or an everyday story, where instead of the usual people, hares or cubs, the reader sees dinosaurs. "How to raise a dinosaur?" is a humorous picture book about the arrival of a second baby in the family. Using the example of a dinosaur family that includes a mother, father, older child, and a small red baby dinosaur, the reader will learn what to expect from a baby and how to play with a younger brother or sister. “The kid still knows so little. He doesn't even know what it's like to be a dinosaur. This is where your time comes! Only you can teach him everything, ”the authors inspire the future older brother or sister. Dinosaurs in this story are not realistic, they live in an ordinary apartment and do the usual human things, but they are all incredibly funny! nine0003
Such different dinosaurs. Encyclopedia in pictures
Authors: Victoria Zatolokina, Tatyana Rudenko
Illustrators: Alexander Sichkar, Philip Yarin
Publisher: Melik-Pashaev nine0003
Age: 4-7 years old
The encyclopedia consists of two parts, which differ from each other not only in content, but also in design.
The first, dedicated to the story of paleontology and the life of ancient pangolins in general, was designed as a whole narrative with humorous pictures, and the second presents fourteen dinosaurs separately, there are accurate realistic drawings and many specific facts about these animals. These facts are communicated in such a way that a preschool child can understand and be interested, without cumbersome scientific constructions and long figures. Short fragments say something like: “The nostrils were located in an unusual place - on a bone crest above the eyes, almost on the top of the head” or “There were many holes in the skull of the oviraptor. With such a light head, one could run fast, ”and almost every descriptive phrase is accompanied by an illustration. Some readers, however, reproach the authors for giving a controversial point of view about the lifestyle of the oviraptor mentioned above: not all modern scientists are convinced that he stole the eggs of other dinosaurs. nine0003
Dinosaurs at dusk
Author: Mary Pope Osborne
Illustrator: Sal Murdock
Translator: Irina Yushchenko nine0003
Publisher: Career Press
Age: 5-8 years old
"Magic Tree House" is one of the most famous series addressed to novice readers.
In each book, Jack and Annie, brother and sister, travel back in time, where they become eyewitnesses of important historical events or simply get acquainted with the era. In the very first story, with which the adventures of the heroes begin, the children find themselves in the Cretaceous period. There they get acquainted with predatory and herbivorous dinosaurs, fly on a Pteranodon, and then safely return to the tree house, the same one from which they will make all their further travels. nine0003
This book does not contain as many facts about dinosaurs as in thematic encyclopedias, it is addressed to those young paleontologists who have just begun to be interested in the topic and cannot yet list a hundred or two dinosaurs with all the characteristics. Note that the books of the Magic Tree House series are especially good as the first reading after the primer: the stories in them are not too long, entertaining, they have large print and large line spacing.
nine0003
Dinosaurs. find and show
Author and Illustrator: Thierry Laval
Translator: Lada Dorozhenko
Publisher: Klever-Media-Group nine0003
Age: 5-8 years old
The authors of books in the genre of “seeking and finding” (wimmelbuch) do not miss a single popular topic, whether it be transport, New Year or knights. Of course, there are dinosaurs in this series. Like the other books in the series, Dinosaurs is printed on very thick paper and has a tapered format.
Each of the five spreads unfolds into a large panorama, the folded pages depict all the dinosaurs that the reader has to find in the picture, but inside there is a large, very bright landscape, filled to capacity with land and water dinosaurs, as well as other animals. There is no text or plot inside, but the illustrations contain so many details and scenes from the life of primitive creatures that you can use them to invent stories on your own. And, of course, train attentiveness and reaction speed. nine0003
Dinosaurs and other reptiles
Author: Elena Kachur
Illustrator: Anastasia Balatenysheva
Publisher: Mann, Ivanov i Ferber nine0003
Age: 5-9 years old
"Dinosaurs and Other Reptiles" is the twelfth issue of the "Children's Encyclopedia with Chevostik".
Unlike the other mentioned books, which focus mainly on dinosaurs, here we are talking not only about ancient, but also about modern reptiles: sea turtles, tuatara, monitor lizards, geckos, chameleons and many others. The story about all these creatures is conducted in the form of a dialogue: Chevostik asks questions, and Uncle Kuzya answers them, sometimes the two of them travel through time or space and describe what they saw. Of course, the book lacks the usual charming voices of your favorite characters, but there are beautiful illustrations by Anastasia Balatenysheva, creative tasks and curious comments in the margins. The educational series about Uncle Kuzya and Chevostik, which began as an audio encyclopedia on disks, has now become truly transmedia: audio podcasts (which, by the way, are no longer available on disks), have been supplemented with books, educational aids, a large online educational platform and several groups in social networks. nine0003
From tyrannosaurus to rooster
Authors: Christina M.
Banfi, Cristina Peraboni, Rita Mabel Schiavo
Illustrator: Mora Roman Garcia
Translator: Olga Uvarova nine0003
Publisher: Walk in History
Age: 7-12 years old
The authors of this book, employees of the Educational Museum Association, know all about the popularization of complex scientific knowledge, and the artist, biologist and specialist in the reconstruction of ancient animals can easily assemble a dinosaur from bones. No wonder they came up with a really good book that not only talks about dinosaurs and other ancient animals, but also shows how evolution worked with numerous facts and examples.
The authors focused on perhaps the most surprising fact: the gradual transformation of the descendants of carnivorous dinosaurs into birds. In parallel, many other things are reported, for example, we learn about the unexpectedly close relationship between the ancestors of the sheep and the wolf, giant marsupials, long extinct, the evolution of the horse, the history of the trunk, and much more. It's amazing how much information about the changes in life forms on Earth the authors managed to fit in just forty pages filled with numerous illustrations! nine0003
Bolivar
Author and Illustrator: Sean Rubin
Translators: Olga Bukhina, Galina Gimon
Publisher: Mann, Ivanov i Ferber
Age: from 7 years old nine0003
Another fictional humorous story about modern people, the main character of which unexpectedly became a dinosaur.
The dinosaur's name is Bolivar, and he is an ordinary New Yorker. Fortunately or not, people are so busy with their bustle that they do not see this amazing neighborhood, and Bolivar himself tries to remain unnoticed, he is too different from others. Of course, at some point a child will discover it (after all, children are often more observant than adults), and changes will begin in the life of a dinosaur, and indeed of the whole city. Artist Sean Rubin told this story in comic book format and was right, the book was a real highlight last year, winning 11 literary awards and a nomination for the Eisner Award, the Oscar of comics. nine0003
Dinosaurs. science comic
Written and Illustrated by M.K. Reed and Joe Flood
Translator: Maria Skaf
Publisher: Mann, Ivanov i Ferber
Age: from 8 years old
A huge and very popular English-language series of educational comics has finally reached Russian readers.
It has books on absolutely everything - from astronomy to chemistry, but the editors of the Russian-language series decided to start with the most popular: dinosaurs and robots. A comic book about dinosaurs seems simple only at first glance. The authors did not count on young readers at all, their text is full of facts, names and terms, as well as a popular presentation of scientific theories of the 19th century. A lot of space in the comic is devoted to the history of paleontology, the first key discoveries, thanks to which people learned about the existence of ancient lizards, and the disputes of scientists that accompanied these discoveries. Connoisseurs of beautiful illustrations will immediately note the skillfulness of the images (although, of course, dinosaurs do not seem to everyone to be very pleasing to the eye), it is no coincidence that this book was one of the nominees for the Eisner Prize, the most prestigious in the world of comics. nine0003
