The Dinosaurs'. Night Before Christmas by Ann Mueke


The dinosaur fossils in the museum come to life (and sing, dance, and eat gingerbread) in this rollicking twist on the classic poem 'Twas the Night Before Christmas. And with the enclosed CD, children of all ages can enjoy dinosaur-themed Christmas party music, and hear the story read aloud by the Today Show's Al Roker! A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the book goes to support the American Museum of Natural History in New York, where the story is set.


Christmas is coming, and Teddy is so excited! Is it Christmas yet? he asks Big Bear. Soon, Big Bear replies. Big Bear tells him that first, there are presents to wrap, a cake to bake, a tree to decorate-so much to do! Teddy desperately wants to help Big Bear get ready, but every time he tries, he ends up making a mess-and making Big Bear angry! Will they ever be ready to have the perfect Christmas?
