If you think November is all about turkeys, get ready for a prehistoric blast from the past because November is also all about dinosaurs. Wondering what in the wide, wide, world of reptiles I’m talking about? Well, get ready to share that Thanksgiving dinner with Tyrannosaurus Rex and all of his pals because this is Dinovember — RAWR!
I wish I had invented the term Dinovember because I love fun word play. Alas, it wasn’t meant to be, so the best I can do to celebrate Dinovember is to offer a dinosaur-themed reading list for kids and adults. After all, who doesn’t love a good pre-Neanderthal read?
Embrace your Jurassic side by checking out books and DVDs with a decidedly primeval vibe. Dino-mite!
