StoreyBook Reviews 

 

Synopsis

Dinopotamus watches the children. He tries to do what they do. He follows them to school. He doesn’t fit through the door, so he climbs in the window. The children count their toes. They have 5 on each foot. He has three. The children see that he wants to learn, just like they do. They all learn together.

 

 

Review

This is a fun book to read to children and while a fun story and it teaches children to learn how to count (at least how to start), there is also a message to share with young children that everyone is different and to embrace the differences. While Dinopotamus tried to do everything the children did, there were some things that were different about him compared to the children – such as only 3 toes, not able to speak, not having ears, and not able to fit through the door.  But the teacher and children are kind to the dinopotamus and teach him different ways to communicate and bring him into their games and lessons.

The book has colorful illustrations that depict what is happening throughout the story and encourages more conversations about school and would be great for a child preparing to attend school for the first time.

We give this 4 paws up.
