With thanks to NetGalley and Carolrhoda Books for an early copy in return for an honest review..

A fun holiday themed book! I read a picture book every day with my students and this will be a fun addition to our November line-up. And my nephew will love all the dinosaurs running around being silly. Great book for ages 3-7.

This one was a bit of a miss for my toddler. I think the text needed to be a bit more visually pleasing (different fonts or colours). There also wasn’t really any funny moments in the story which means it would be unlikely that my toddler would ask to read this again.

This was such a cute book. The pictures are adorable. And the kids I read this book to really liked both the pictures and the story.

This little book is CUTE CUTE CUTE!! Personally I love reading holiday themed books with my kids. I have two boys so a dino themed holiday book is perfect!

Dino-Thanksgiving pairs rhyming text with bright illustrations to make a fast and fun holiday read.

I recieved a digital copy of this book from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Cute drawings and great rhymes. I could easily see adding an entire series of these to a baby/toddler age library.

When I saw this on Netgalley I couldn’t resist the urge to request it. When my boys were little we bought all of the Dino books and this one is just as magical! Lots of great pictures with a sweet rhyming story! Perfect for all children who love dinosaurs and adults too!

dino-thanksgiving is such a fun book. The story flows really well and hits all the Thanksgiving highlights. The illustrations are bright and engaging. Dinosaurs as the main characters will be a plus for kids. This is the best Thanksgiving themed book I have read- others are monotonous and have bland illustrations with too much brown, orange, & yellow.

Gather around, friends, but it’s about to be Thanksgiving in several Dino households. Everyone celebrates differently with all sorts of activities and traditions, but two things remain the same, good eating and loved ones.

I think that Thanksgiving will look a LOT different than normal for many people in our COVID-19 world, and I really loved reading about the traditions in this book. It warmed my heart, reminded me to keep looking forward to fall even when it’s 90something degrees and 100% humidity out there, and it gave me a feeling of normalcy, even for a moment.

Regardless of what the holidays will look like this year, this is an excellent choice for storytime. It’s told in rhyming verse with colorful, animated photos. It’s not too long and the rhythm encourages a repetition that invites collective movement and noisemaking for a fun storytime.

I really enjoyed this book, and I hope you and your little ones will, too. It’s out in September, so plenty of time to anticipate and celebrate before Thanksgiving Day.

It’s a Dino-Thanksgiving!
What I love about this story is that it relates to both Canadian and US thanksgiving. Many times I will read a thanksgiving story to my students and they are confused about the differences in our Thanksgiving traditions.

My students absolutely love Lisa Wheeler’s Dino series! I can’t keep them on my shelves!

Great job! I look forward to adding this book to my Thanksgiving library!!

Thank you to NetGalley and Lerner Publishing Group for the opportunity to read and review this book!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an electronic copy to read and review.

I have loved all the Dino-sports books by author Lisa Wheeler. They have always been a huge hit in my classroom. This is similar in style, a cute rhyming book showing how Dinosaurs celebrate Thanksgiving. This will be so much fun to read aloud in the classroom!

A sweet book about Thanksgiving, featuring dinosaurs! 'Dino-Thanksgiving' is a wonderful book for children that focuses on family and the traditions of Thanksgiving. It is written in a rhyming scheme and features colorful, playful drawings of dinosaurs. I really enjoyed this book about the importance of traditions on a holiday that is sometimes overlooked.

How can you go wrong with full color dinosaurs celebrating Thanksgiving. Wheeler continues the fun and excitement in her new series on holidays with the dinosaurs. The rhyme scheme works well. Elementary readers will love the action in the illustrations that bring the text to life.
One of my favorite parts of using these as read alouds is when the kids try to figure out the hint for the next book before we turn to the final page.

Adorable children’s book captivates readers with dinosaurs and Thanksgiving traditions. Fun illustrations, thoughtful inclusion of traditions and cuisine, and incorporation of correct dinosaur names makes this book both relatable and educational. A great book to add to your home library!

The world needs more Thanksgiving picture books, and this one was especially awesome because it also had DINOSAURS! Kids will love it, and the rhymes make for a great read aloud.
