Description:

The Dinosaurs’ Night Before Christmas — The dinosaur fossils in the museum come to life (and sing, dance, and eat gingerbread) in this rollicking twist on the classic poem ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas. And with the enclosed CD, children of all ages can enjoy dinosaur-themed Christmas party music, and hear the story read aloud by the Today Show’s Al Roker! A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the book goes to support the American Museum of Natural History in New York, where the story is set.

Kiwi Magazine Review:

You guessed it - it’s the prehistoric version of the classic Night Before Christmas.  The American Museum of Natural History experiences a festive transformation when the dinosaur skeletons start to shake their dino tails to celebrate the holiday. And, who else would be the guest of honor except Santosaur.

   I love that part of the proceeds go to support the American Museum of Natural History in New York, where the story is set. Looks like a fun book.

   Al Roker reads this book - that sounds like fun in itself - he’s a real cut-up.
