You'd think I'd be an expert now, but my mind has blocked all that info from sticking! They all kind of blur together still! LOL! <br /><br />@Liz, how sweet about your boys! I have to admit, dinosaur obsession is a-ok for me! I hope it lasts forever! LOL! I did visit your blog and I enjoyed it, but the lovely commenter was Lesa.

So far T goes through mini-phases of dinosaur interest but isn't obsessed yet-- he only has one dinosaur easy reader-- poor deprived child. I'll keep an eye out for these.Lesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05102907186589066829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7940379803900435059.post-33437085314649845652011-05-26T03:40:06.161-05:002011-05-26T03:40:06.161-05:00Hi Leslie - thanks for visiting my blog and for yo...Hi Leslie - thanks for visiting my blog and for your lovely comments.<br />As the mother of two (now grown) sons, dinosaurs seemed to feature largely in my life, eldest wanted to be a paleontologist for a while!

I loved dinosaurs when I was a child, too!...+JMJ+ <br /><br />I loved dinosaurs when I was a child, too! =D <br /><br />Non-fiction books aren't usually popular read-aloud choices--mostly because, as you point out, Leslie, all that repetition of facts might make the adult reader go a bit batty. (LOL!) So now you've got me thinking which age-appropriate non-fiction reads I'd be happy to read aloud twenty times or so. <br /><br />Hmmmm . . . <i>A Prairie Dog for the President</i>, maybe! Have you read that one? It's really, really charming <i>and</i> has a narrative!Enbrethilielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414765854670926854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7940379803900435059.post-21504632476623456442011-05-25T12:27:40.162-05:002011-05-25T12:27:40.162-05:00I was such a dinosaur addict when I was a kid. If ...I was such a dinosaur addict when I was a kid. If you're looking for a great storybook about dinosaurs, might I suggest What Happened to Patrick's Dinosaurs by Carol and Donald Carrick? It's a well-illustrated, imaginative story about a young boy who tries to figure out where all the dinosaurs went to. I grew up on it.gabrielreadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11809365791580695386noreply@blogger.com
