DINO’S PAJAMA PARTY

Synopsis: From Amazon:
Much like us, dinosaurs love to have fun. Dinosaurs from all around gather together to play instruments, dance, and sing before bedtime. But soon the dinosaurs grow tired and need their rest. This is a book that’s sure to have kids following the dinos’ lead as they get ready to go to sleep.

WHY I LOVE THIS BOOK:

1. This is a great read-aloud for home or school.
2. The text is filled with action verbs and a rollicking rhythm.
3. The illustrations are delightful – bold and full of fun!

Please remember that the best way we can tell an author that we love her book is to buy a copy, review it, tell friends about it, ask your local library to purchase copies for their collection. DINO’S PAJAMA PARTY launches on October 19th…and is available for pre-order!

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! The New England Fall Foliage is in full bloom…quite a spectacular sight!
