Gobble, gobble, munch and crunch, watch the pages disappear! Five hungry dinosaurs, from mighty little Microraptor to colourful Carnotaurus, sink their teeth into this tasty novelty book, created with the American Museum of Natural History and Caldecott-honour winner Steve Jenkins. Kids can count along as the dinosaurs take bite-sized chunks out of each page. The number of bites matches the counting number on each spread! Fun facts about the dinosaurs and what they liked to eat appear at the end, along with a listing of dinosaur details from 1-10.
