Love this book. Excited to keep developing the actions with the children into a music and movement session. This hilarious picture book is a rip-roaring read-aloud guide to 100 different feathered friends. Full of endless funny details, silly scenarios, and a rare bird to spot, this is a book to read again and again. Talk about the names for the different diggersaurs, lots of them have names that are about the job they do. Perhaps you could make up more together.

The story itself here is really great! There are themes of teamwork as the diggersaurs work together to move forward, calmly overcoming obstacles as the diggersaurs come up with solutions to each one that they encounter, helping others as they assist the golden diversaurus (eg, a submarine) who was buried in the sand, and following a serious of steps as the diggersaurs work to get to the beach. All of these themes are perfect for young readers. Casper loves reading but he gets particularly excited when we can bring books to life for him. Lovemybooks provides some great inspiration for how to achieve this.' Of course no dinosaur party buffet would be complete without some turkey dinosaurs or Quorn Roarsomes vegan dinosaurs. Michael Whaite, the creator of Diggersaurs talks about his inspiration for the book and how he hopes young readers will respond: Have read this one a lot to my preschoolers (3-5 years) and each time we read it we add more actions and sound effects to the retelling. It has almost become a movement session in its own right!

This read-aloud rhyming treat is bursting with funny, characterful dino-machines. Award-winning, bestselling Michael Whaite brings Mars to life with bright, bold colours and details to pore over. Read more Details The ending had me smiling, that is such a fun way to end a day of work and I loved seeing the Diggersaurs go home to sleep so they would be ready for a new day.Less ambitious than Chris Gall’s widely known Dinotrux (2009) and sequels, this British import systematically relegates each dinosaur/construction-equipment hybrid to its most logical job. You can change 'What's the time Mr Wolf' to 'What's the time Mr Dinosaur'. Or keep it simple by lining kids up at one side or a room or garden and placing the dinosaurs in the middle.

After hearing the story a few times, children will get to know it well. Encourage them tell it to you in their own words, with some words or phrases from the story, using the pictures to help them. Talk about the story Most kids have a dinosaur T-shirt or jumper in their wardrobe and some will even have full-on costumes. If you want a quiet corner of the room where kids can chill out for a minute or take part in an activity, then a tent is a great idea. Buy a dino-shaped cookie cutter and whip up a batch of dinosaur biscuits. You can decorate them yourself using coloured icing or get kids to decorate their own as a party activity.Casper enjoys pretending that his toys have turned into Diggersaurs and gives them all names after the sounds they make - his favourite is KERLUNK(ASAURUS)! All in all, I had so much fun reading this. It made me very happy and that is just what I need at the moment. Something to make me forget the world. I would recommend this to all. Children will fall in love with these huge, colourful, lovable beasts as the wonderfully read-aloud rhyming story unfolds. And there are lots of funny details to spot along the way... We love the idea of a dinosaur volcano cake. Make a volcano to place on top of your cake from fondant icing or a mixture of rice crispies and marshmallow.
