Dino-Hockey was a gift to my son for his 3rd birthday (thanks Christine!!) and we weren’t familiar with it but it combined two awesome things – my sons love for dinosaurs, and hockey.
The story is possibly one of the best we’ve read – great rhyming, fun, funny and really engrossing for both child and adult.
It was an instant hit! We read it over and over again. We were aware that there was a follow up book, Dino-Soccer but I kept forgetting about it, even at Christmas. Then I discovered that in 2010 they released a brand new one – Dino-Baseball (my son’s favourite sport!). I showed it to my son online and said ‘someday we should get those’. He was in full agreement.
Next thing I know, he is on the ‘phone’ and asks (whoever on the other end) to send these two books in the mail (because, all of our books come in the mail apparently – which is mostly true ;) I procrastinated ordering them but meant to.
A week would go by and he’d ask if his books were in the mail. Mommy has a bad memory, so another week would go by. Finally, I ordered them.
The box arrived and he was anxious to get the package but didn’t know what was in it. When he saw the books I thought his smile would leap off his face.
There they were! Two new dino books.
And you know what? They are awesome!! Seriously, get these books. You will love them. If possible get them in the above order – you’ll have to read them to see why 🙂
Do you have books that BOTH you and the kids just love to read?
we are HUGE fans of Dino-Sports here! Wee G loves to recite them as he's playing hockey or soccer in the kitchen.
Webgeek wants to know when Dino-lympics is coming out…
Cool! I'll have to check those out! I'm sure my guy would love them.
We've recently discovered Brady Brady books, have you read any?
As you know the Dino Hockey is a favourite here, kids like it, parents like it! It's just so clever.
I'm definitely getting those other ones, like you I've been procrastinating! But now I'm on it. Thanks for the reminder.
