About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts asking those big, persistent questions about the prehistoric world or shows a budding interest in how animals survive. This early reader is perfect for toddlers and preschoolers who are transitioning from simple picture books to factual, educational texts. It introduces the Iguanodon, a fascinating herbivore known for its unique thumb spikes, using clear and accessible language. The book focuses on curiosity and the wonder of the natural world. It encourages children to look at physical traits (like the Iguanodon's teeth and spikes) and imagine how those features helped the creature live and eat. By focusing on a specific dinosaur rather than a broad overview, it helps children build focus and deepens their vocabulary around science and history. It is a gentle, informative choice for a quiet reading session that fuels a child's imagination about the distant past.

Sensitive Topics
The book is entirely secular and direct. It mentions survival behaviors, such as defending against predators, but does so in a matter-of-fact, non-graphic way suitable for the youngest readers.
