Annotation: Christmas just went prehistoric with this humorous take on the traditional poem. Included are dinosaur-themed holiday songs and a read aloud of the poem!
Evaluation: I heard this poem many times as a child and was always entranced by it. I also was mesmerized by the idea of dinosaurs and remember my brother memorizing each and everyone of them. Here is the marriage of the holiday classic with an high interest twist. Get your kids reading poetry and exploring there favorite dino-characters! Sure to be a literate christmas afterall! The CD is an awesome bonus that will enhance the book and your Christmas! I highly recommend this holiday book as a Christmas read aloud or even an introduction to poetry and verse!
