A bedtime story 65 million years in the making.

When it comes to putting their dinosaurs to bed, Mama and Papa never know what to expect. Will Pteranodon throw his teddy around the room? Will Trachodon get angry and demand another bedtime story? Will T-Rex roar? This time, Mama and Papa are in for a surprise...

If you have a dinosaur-obsessed kid in your house, then this book will be perfect for them.

Told with simple rhyming text, there are a lot of funny moments as the dinosaur children try different methods to delay the inevitable for as long as they can.

The talented illustrator Mark Teague also has a lot fof fun with the different dinosuar pictures, which feature funny details like drawings done by Allosaur stuck on the wall.

There's also an extra challenge for kids as well, as Mark's written the name of each dinosaur somewhere in their rooms, can your child spot them all?

Overall this is a funny, imaginative picture book from a talented duo, and a perfect bedtime choice for parents with their own little dinosaurs.
