My toddler saw this one and it was a MUST read, immediately for her. She is dino-obsessed right now & this one did not disappoint! The bright, fun colors & cute storyline made it one I'm sure she'll be asking to read often!

This is a fun rhyming picture book about dinosaurs preparing for and celebrating Thanksgiving. It covers shopping, traveling, food prep, football (on TV and of the backyard variety), eating, doing dishes, and that inevitable turkey nap. Kids who love dinosaurs will be entranced by this one.

Super quick read with the most adorable and colourful illustrations. I also read this to a neighbor's kid who absolutely loved it.

Dino-Thanksgiving by Lisa Wheeler is a cute Thanksgiving story with dinosaurs as the characters! The story describes many of the fun Thanksgiving activities in which many families may participate, and the rhymes throughout the story are fun and engaging. The illustrations by Barry Gott were a perfect match for the text. I would definitely incorporate this into Thanksgiving themed activities with children.

A copy of this book was provided by the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This was a cute book that emphasizes the importance of spending time as a family and at times, working together as a family. The Thanksgiving setting doesn’t play a big role. The illustrations were lovely. Perhaps a little long for some younger children.

This book is cute and fun for young kids and has very vibrant pictures. As a parent, I would like to see more the value of thanksgiving and what its about not just the fun things you do. When the Dino's are saying what they are thankful for, I would prefer my son or daughter to see the non material things in our world to be thankful for. This book would have been a great tool to use to give more meaningful thankfulness. It was definitely cute though.
