Dino-Valentine's Day

Will you be mine, Dino-Valentine? Dinos of all shapes and sizes make cards, munch on treats, and find romance at the Valentine Dance!

Cheery rhyming text from Lisa Wheeler and delightfully goofy illustrations from Barry Gott invite readers to celebrate Valentine's Day in true dino style. Raptor and Leso decorate card boxes at school, the Ptero twins shop for the perfect box of chocolates, and Maia has crushes on . . . everyone! There's something for everyone to enjoy in this humorous and heartwarming look at the sweetest holiday of the year!

Dinosaurs big and small gather to decorate, eat, and even compete in party festivities like only prehistoric carnivores and herbivores would. Lisa Wheeler and Barry Gott—creators of the enormously popular Dino-Sports picture books—team up to create celebrations of epic proportions!

“"Popular dino pals are back, this time full of love. When February rolls around, the dinos suddenly have hearts in their eyes. They break out their paintbrushes and create boxes to collect valentines, they bake festive cookies and tarts, and the flower shop is bursting with roses. Minmi appears to have a crush on many dinosaur friends. She weaves a heart for Diplo, paints a huge sign for Leso, and makes a large chocolate treat for T. rex, all while her heart goes 'boom-boom-boom' and her stomach flip-flops. As Wheeler sagely points out, however, 'School is no place for romance.' But at night, watch out--there's a Valentine Dance! Will Minmi reveal her true crush? She shyly takes the stage and announces, 'For me, this time of year is fun. / The truth is . . . / I like everyone!' The large, plodding dinosaurs are positively buoyant. They are as jaunty as the bouncy rhymes that propel this love story forward. Close inspection of the illustrations reveals fun dinosaur puns, some of which may go over children's heads (the movie theater is playing When Hadrosaur Met Stegosaurus).
