Are dinosaurs a big hit with your kids or students? this year I realize even more than usual, that during free play dinosaur toys are chosen and loved! If the kids develop a keen interest in something, I love taking it even further with great picture books and reading aloud! These children’s dinosaur books are great for young researchers looking for facts about dinosaurs, as well as kids interested in dinosaurs in general.
funny dinosaur books for kids
national geographic’s first great dinosaur book for young children by catherine d. hugo
You are reading: Dinosaur books for kindergarten
This book is great for capturing the interest of younger dinosaur lovers! They’ve also broken it down by types of dinosaurs: small, large, giant, and gigantic. each page has bright illustrations and fun facts. I think my favorite part is that they tell you the pronunciation of the names. kids love it when they can pronounce scientific names of dinosaurs. It also asks fun and engaging questions to promote thinking and get the conversation flowing!
national geographic ultimate dinopedia for kids by don lessem
This book is for die-hard dinosaur fans and is aimed at slightly older kids (ages 7-10), but can be enjoyed with parents or teachers to help them navigate. This book is packed with information and facts about tons of dinosaurs! it has plenty of text for young learners, but it has excellent illustrations and information on just about every dinosaur ever discovered. It would be a perfect gift for a child who loves dinosaurs!

Now that we’re looking at a book for older kids, here’s one that’s great for little ones! This board book is simple and engaging, with great pictures and vocabulary. perfect for preschoolers! plus, even older kids would want to see if they can say those challenging dinosaur names!
dinosaur a-z by roger priddy
I’m pretty obsessed with alphabet books. I put “a-z” on something and immediately look at it a second time. call it a kindergarten teacher’s curse, but I can’t help it! I love this book for kindergarten. gives you information on 26 dinosaurs from (you guessed it) a-z!
dinosaurs love claire freedman’s underpants
Now we’ve ditched the facts for some silly fun! This book is hilarious and my kids always crack up when I read it. probably just because of the word “underpants”. this book is a silly version of the reason behind the extinction of the dinosaurs. Was it, perhaps, an underpants war?

how do dinosaurs play with their friends? by jane yolen
the how do dinosaurs series has great lessons for little ones! I love this book that teaches a lesson on being a good friend while using the fun and familiar dinosaur characters from the series. what does it really mean to “play well”? This book shares many examples that children can relate to in a fun and meaningful way.
skippyjon jones and the fat bones by judy schachner
we love skippyjon jones books in my classroom. it’s great! In this story, when Skippyjon disappears into his closet, he thinks he’s on a mission to hunt down the weirdest dinosaur ever! Of course, the regular sidekicks are in the story too, which makes this dino adventure even more fun!
