Yesosaurus!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
Ollie, Molly, Milo, and their parents enjoy holiday spirit with a kind, generous, and positive message throughout. (The dinodeer even stop at traffic lights!) The same cannot be said for many popular books, such as Olivia Helps with Christmas (Olivia Series). Santasaurus has become part of our nonreligious XMAS tradition, along with other traditional classics. I think this book is brilliant for ages 3 to 5. Time will tell if it maintains the kids' interest past that. Irish author-illustrator Niamh Sharkey (whose first name is pronounced the same as Neve Campbell) is not well known outside Britain, although you may be familiar with The Ravenous Beast. (First U.S. edition, 2005)
