A Christmas classic for dinosaur lovers
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This book totally charmed me. I have always loved the American Museum of Natural History in New York, and this book is set there. It is really funny to read a dinosaur version of the night before Xmas rhyme-- and the art is beautiful-- great dino party scenes with them dancing around the fire, etc. The music is very fun-- it has holiday tunes with the words changed-- there is an "allosaurus chorus" instead of the hallelujah chorus... Hey Duckbills instead of Jingle Bells...etc. I am giving this as a gift to a family I know with two dino-loving little boys.
This is a delightful book

What a great mix, dinosaurs and Christmas and all the imagination of this magical time of year. This story reminds my husband of wanting dinosaur models for Christmas. My family loves Nathan Hale's work.
A Holiday Treat!

This book is a sheer delight! Muecke's fun text is perfectly paired with Hale's realistically rendered dinosaurs, and the CD of dino-carols is a treasure. My three-year-old has been running around singing, "Aaaaall-o-saurus! Aaaall-o-saurus!"

The PERFECT gift for dinosaur enthusiasts
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This fun book is the perfect holiday gift for dinosaur lovers. Clever concept for the plot, witty adaptation of the traditional "'Twas the night before" rhyme, and, best of all, FANTASTIC illustrations that truly capture the imagination. Plus, a bonus CD with the story read by the jolliest weatherman ever and original dinosaur Christmas party tunes! And the fact that some of the proceeds go to benefit the American Museum of Natural History = icing on the cake! My girls were really excited to get this on Christmas Eve and they were singing the songs and remarking on the story long past the holidays.
