It's time to celebrate another holiday with the dinosaurs, and this time they're filled with Thanksgiving cheer. Preparations for the big day are underway: there are groceries to procure, flights to catch, and turkeys to brine (don't worry, the triceratops is making veggie options, too). The dinos are also excited to take in a football game, marvel at parades, and meander through corn mazes. When, at long last, it's time to feast on the carefully curated dinner, they all give thanks for food and family. Wheeler's silly, rhyming text has a pleasing bounce, impressively managing to rhyme tricky dinosaur names with familiar traditions. Gott's cheerful digital illustrations paint a cozy world of colorful dinosaurs in an amusingly human setting, from detailed grocery stores to airports bustling with prehistoric travelers. Young readers will recognize many of the traditions from their own celebrations, and if they're disappointed to see the festivities end, never fear: on the last page, dinosaurs look forward to decorating Easter eggs. A delightful holiday read-aloud for dinosaur devotees.
