About This Book
Reach for this book when your toddler is showing a budding interest in numbers or when you want to channel their high-energy dinosaur play into a focused learning moment. It is perfect for those quiet 'lap-time' sessions where you can transition from active play to cognitive skill-building through a familiar, celebratory theme. This story follows Sammy and his prehistoric pals through a birthday celebration, using the excitement of a party to introduce basic numeracy. It creates a joyful association between social milestones and math, making it an excellent choice for children who may be resistant to traditional 'workbooks' but love a good story. By focusing on friendship and counting, the book fosters a sense of wonder and curiosity about how numbers work in the real world. It is age-appropriate for the 2 to 5 range, serving as both a colorful read-aloud and a foundational tool for early math literacy.
