Growing Up

DBC 12513 – How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight?, by Jane Yolen and Mark Teague, narrated by Gavin Bahmani

Substituting children for dinosaurs, Jane Yolen explores a world where dinosaurs are animated and with nightly routines.  These anthropomorphized reptilians (a cast of 10) run the spectrum of different species, from the Pteranodon to the Stegosaurus.  Composed of familiar bedtime scenes, it’s the perfect book to read and share with your child right before they go to sleep.  With delightfully and humorously drawn illustrations that never grow tiresome or ordinary, it will instantly become one of your child’s favorites on its way to becoming a classic.
