PreSchool-Grade 1-On Christmas Eve, after exchanging presents with her fellow toys, Princess Dinosaur tries to wait up for Santa Claus but instead falls asleep. Kids will enjoy revisiting the toy characters from Princess Dinosaur (Greenwillow, 2001) and will relate to both the protagonist's silly antics and to her worries about Santa finding the house and fitting through the chimney. An energetic light fantasy with splashy, bright watercolor and pen-and-ink art.-M. W.

Great for little girls into dinosaurs. So much dinosaur stuff is geared towards boys only. It's a great book for both.

This review is from: Merry Christmas, Princess Dinosaur! (Hardcover)

We have been in love with Princess Dinosaur at our house for over a year now--and now we get to enjoy her in a second book! The illustrations are what make these two books so wonderful. They perfectly capture the energy and personality of the Princess Dinosaur character. The stories are simple and straightforward. It's the character that brings us back again and again. I'd recommend this book for anyone with an energetic 3-6 year-old girl in their life.
