The Dinosaurs are Back, and It’s All Your Fault, Edward by Wendy Hartman and Niki Daly

One night, Edward’s brother teases about the rock under his bed. “It might be an dinosaur egg, Edward.” His brother then suggests what might if the “egg” hatches. Edward would have to feed the growing dinosaur, teach it some manners, and many other daunting things. But Edward turns the tables on his brother, and says that when the moon is full, dinosaurs capture boys who aren’t asleep. This book is sure to tickle anyone’s funny bone, especially those with teasing siblings.

Dinosaur Bob and His Adventures with the Family Lazardo by William Joyce

Since I started reading Michael Crichton’s Jurassic Park, I’ve had dinosaurs on the brain. This first picture book is about the adventurous family Lazardo who find a gentle dinosaur on their African vacation. Bob the Brachiosaurs and the Lazardo take him back to the states, and this gentle giant soon becomes the talk of the town. Children of all ages will love the humorous story set in the early 1900’s.
