1. Dinosaur vs. Bedtime (by Bob Shea)
Your dinosaur-obsessed kids will have a blast reading aloud this cheeky little picture book. The spunky little bright red dinosaur can defeat anything – spaghetti, grown-ups, falling leaves, even bath time – all with a huge ROAR! But he meets his match in bedtime. Will he be able to overcome this challenge?
Full of colourful images more than words, this board book invites lots of simple reader participation and will have your little ones join in on the roaring in no time. They would recognise the familiar scenarios of conquering everyday challenges like slides and baths. It’s also perfect as a bedtime story to open up your kid’s imagination before they sink into sleep. If you enjoy Dinosaur vs. Bedtime, look out for the rest of the playful Dinosaur series by Bob Shea, where the dinosaur battles the potty, school, and more!
You can find the book at Kinokuniya, Book Depository, or the library.
