The Dinosaurs' Night Before Christmas
All the whimsy and wonder of “The Night Before Christmas” comes to life like never before—right in the halls of the American Museum of Natural History! Young dinosaur buffs are in for a treat as prehistoric fossils sprout “rainbows of colorful feathers and scales from the tops of their heads to the tips of their tails.” You won’t find visions of sugar plums here, but there is a Duckbill and a T-Rex and a Santasaurus, too. What’s more, this book comes with an award-winning holiday CD featuring five new twists on classic favorites, including “Hark! the Pterodactyls Sing” and “Deck the Halls with Stegosaurus,” plus a wonderful retelling of this holiday adventure as read by everyone’s favorite weatherman, Al Roker. (Ages 2-6)

Wonderful Spin on a Classic Tale

This was a gift for my nephew who is obsessed with Dinosaurs... so it was a great spin on the classic. It was so great to watch his excitement and then with the CD he started jumpming up and down it was wonderful! This is a wonderful book!

My granddaughter, 3 year old Maggie, fell in love with dinosaurs last year. When I saw this book, I had to get it for her for Christmas. She loved the familiar story told in a new way. The CD was a huge hit! When she went caroling with her family and a group from their church, Maggie (and her mommy too) accidentally sang out the dinosaur words to one of the songs!

Fun

My son and I read this book quite often; even though it's not Christmas time anymore. He loves it and honestly, so do I. It's very engaging and cute and will not be put away until next Christmas. The CD is interesting to say the least. Very clever to use Chrismas Carols for dinosaur songs. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has a child that likes dinosaurs.
