Dino-Thanksgiving

Kourtney

My son loves dinosaurs. He was first introduced to them from Pink Fong, when we were watching the Baby Shark videos on repeat. The dinosaur songs really held his attention, and he now walks around saying names like ankylosaurus and iguanodon as only a 2-year old can. 

When I told him I had a story to read to him, he quickly jumped in my lap. I pulled up Dino-Thanksgiving and he went crazy! He started shouting "Dinosaurs! Dinosaurs!" 

My son's book review (2-years old): 

Mom: Hey buddy, what did you think?
Son: AGAIN! AGAIN!
Mom: So did you like it?
Son: YES! Mommy! Dinosaurs! Again! 
Mom: Which dinosaur was your favorite?
Son: T-rex! (points to Compy and begins to laugh)

Mom Translation of Son's Review: 

Dinosaurs are so much fun! I looked up the author and found that this is one book in a whole SERIES of Dino books! We got so excited, we immediately looked up Dino-Halloween and Dino-Dancing. When we woke up the next morning, my son immediately began to ask for me to read to him again. We have a hit on our hands here!

As a mom, I loved the story. It falls in line with a lot of our family traditions, from watching the parade (shout-out to the balloon turkey! I see you Macy's turkey!) to having football on while everyone is either cooking or hanging out. The illustrations, by Barry Gott, are amazing. Bright, colorful and each dinosaur gives you something new to look at. 

And I agree with my son: Compy is hilarious!

This is a holiday book that I think the family will enjoy throughout the years. That's one tradition I love for each holiday - pulling out the books! And now I have to go hunt down about 11 other dinosaur books for my son as a Christmas gift! (Shhhh - don't tell him!)

 I received a copy of this book from the publishers via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
