While I have no intention of rating every book my son and I read before bed, this one deserved a mention. It's a board book for toddlers that doesn't dumb it down - there are no songs, no rhymes, and no cutesy names for the dinosaurs. If mom or dad get tongue tied by Argentinosaurus, so be it.

What's more, check out page 14 if you get a chance - yes, that's a very dead looking fish in the Plesiosaur's mouth . . . and, yes, that's a real cloud of blood floating away in the water. For some reason, that amount of detail in a kid's book just makes me smile.

At 2 years old, there aren't a lot of books my son will let me read from cover to cover without him trying to skip ahead, but this is one we end up reading 2 or 3 times a night.

When I saw the free title of the day was Good Night Dinosaur, I was so excited. I bought Emmett a Dinosaur Matching Game for Christmas, and I think this book would be perfect for him to get beforehand to learn about different dinosaurs. This was my favorite book yet in the series. There were so many different types of dinosaurs. I loved how if the dinosaur’s name wasn’t said in the text of the book, the authors labeled the dinosaur. This is perfect for any dinosaur loving child, and it is a great way to introduce dinosaurs.

pluses- the science isn't entirely wrong (but maybe a little)

minuses- there is just not a lot of rhyme or rhythm
