Silly Dizzy Dinosaur

Age: 2+

Silly Dizzy Dinosaur by Jack Tickle is a really entertaining book all about Dizzy, a very silly dinosaur.

Dinosaurs are one of the most, if not the most popular subjects in picture books for the children and sometimes my heart sinks to see another one. However, this is a well-thought out story with bright illustrations and is the perfect noisy book to share with your toddler.
