Roar!, Christmas and Fall

Like most little boys his age my two-year-old grandson loves dinosaurs.  Big, small, carnivore or herbivore-it makes no difference-he loves them all.

I’ll catch him occasionally parading his dinosaur toys around, gobbling up helpless LEGO figures, rampaging through a Hot Wheels play set and trying to nip the fingers or toes of grandma and grandpa.

He’s sure to love two new books from Scholastic Books that celebrate Thunder Lizards in two unique ways.

In Roar! Roar! I’m A Dinosaur writer/artist Jo Lodge has created an interactive book where kids can make colorful and fun illustrations of dinosaurs seemingly come to life.

Watch as them open their mouths, flap their wings, stomp their feet and roar!

What a fun way to explore the world of dinosaurs!

Jane Yolen and Mark Teague present How Do Dinosaurs Say Merry Christmas?

In the book dinosaurs prepare a home for Christmas with decorations, prepare food, sing carols and enjoy the holiday with their human friends.

Full-color illustrations depict the hi-jinx and holiday hilarity that takes place. Even Santa Claus shows up for some cheery dinosaur Christmas fun.

Fall is just around the corner and what better way to introduce youngsters to the season than with a small, soft-cover book complete with photos of Fall objects accentuated with real textures?

With Touch And Feel Fall, kids can run their fingers over each item.  It’s the perfect way to help them identify objects by touch.

Rub the wood of an apple bushel basket, run your fingers over a pinecone, feel a Fall sweater, touch the grill of a school bus, pet a fox, touch some hay, rub an acorn and feel the ruffled feathers of a goose.

Fall never felt so good!
