Wheeler, Lisa. Dino-Valentine’s Day. Barry Gott, Illus. Carolrhoda, 11/2022. [32]pp. Picture Book. GRADES. Preschool – 1. $18.99. 978-1-5124-0319. ADDITIONAL.
In the continuing saga of dinosaurs doing human things, Wheeler moves from sports to holidays. This time the many aspects of celebrating Valentine’s Day are demonstrated via dinosaurs instead of people. From cards to gifts, candy to dinners, these happy dinos are engrossed in everything pink and red. Full of different types of dinosaurs, many of their names are shortened and written in a different font type and color than the rest of the fastpaced, lyrical text. A great way to show some of the ways (and eventually the reasons) that the day is celebrated.
