Good Night Dinosaur by Adam Gamble, Mark Jasper
4.0
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.
