PreS-Gr 1–A gang of candy-colored dinosaurs lives out a Halloween fantasy in this bright board book for toddlers. From picking pumpkins to dancing the “monster mash,” the dinos leave no aspect of Halloween unexplored. Gott’s digital illustrations are sure to inspire multiple retellings as readers spot new details each time, such as a dino dressed in a homemade robot costume or as a knight in armor. The minimal, rhythmic text brings the dinos from day to night on a jam-packed day of Halloween activities.
VERDICT Reaching little ones interested in dinosaurs and Halloween alike, this makes a good addition to board book collections.
