Dinosaur Dig! - Author Penny Dale

What happens when dinosaurs get behind the wheels of diggers, dump trucks, and bulldozers? In Dinosaur Dig!, one dinosaur starts digging a giant hole, and soon he's joined by more dinosaur friends — all working together on a top-secret construction project. Big machines, roaring dinos, and a surprise ending make this a thrilling read for young fans of both dinosaurs and vehicles.

Full of fun sound effects and action-packed scenes, this book invites children to shout along with the vehicle noises and guess what the dinosaurs are building. Spoiler alert: it’s a massive, splashy swimming pool!

Why we, and schools, like it:

• Blends two childhood favorites: dinosaurs and construction vehicles — a guaranteed hit with early readers.
• Encourages teamwork and problem-solving through storytelling.
• Great for interactive read-alouds with repetitive sound cues and vibrant illustrations.
