It probably comes as no surprise to you, but not only do I enjoy giving books alway--I like winning them too! I was delighted to win Laurie Wallmark's new picture book, DINO PAJAMA PARTY (Running Press Kids, 2021) from Kathy Temean's wonderful blog. I recently featured Laurie with her other new book, Code Breaker, Spy Hunter. Which just goes to show--talented picture book authors can write in a variety of genres!)
Move over Sandra Boynton (Dinosaur Dance)! DINO PAJAMA PARTY, featuring a cast of rollicking dinosaurs, is sure to be an equally asked for bedtime book. Illustrations by Michael Robertson provide humor which enhances the text.
REVIEW
Dinos rock, and dinos roll.Dinos stomp and dinos stroll.
And what else do these pajama-dressed dinosaurs like to do?
They roar, they shriek, they boom, and squeak.
They sing, they dance; they plunk, and strum. "Dinos toot and dinos drum."
They even "come from all around just to play that rocking sound." (Note the band's name!)
Dinos yawn,and dinos drag.Dinos droop,and dinos sag.Dinos toes are getting soreAll the dinos leave the floor.

Dinos in pajamas are hard to resist. Those spikes must make things tricky, though! Shared your post on Twitter.
Thanks Janet. YOu're in twice! (And maybe the dinosaurs have super-soft beds for all those spikes!!)

What a perfectly adorable book! I have to get this one. I love rhymers. Thanks for telling me about it.
Fun words and sweet illustrations make dinosaurs endearing and not so ferocious! Would be a great book for my grandson who is "Coming Soon". He is to make his appearance on January 12th. I think this book will be score a big roar for dino loving kids!
