what the dinosaurs did last night: a very messy adventure by refe and susan tuma

Usually I write these posts for adults looking for a good book to read with the kids in their lives, but right now, I want to take a moment to address the kids in the room, so bring them closer to the screen.  Hello, kids.  Before I share this wonderful, funny, crazy book with you and the adult in your life that will bring you to the library/book store to find and read said book, I need you to promise me one little thing.  DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT make messes when your adult isn't looking and think that you can blame it on dinosaurs.  Your adult will not like it and may stop reading my book recommendations, so please, just don't.  

In this hilarious story, the toy dinosaurs who live in this house are running amok and wreaking havoc every time their owner's back is turned!  When no one is watching these dinos are drawing on the walls, getting into the shaving cream, tangling up the yarn in the knitting basket, you name it.  But when the parents get angry about the mess, they blame it on the kids in the house.  They won't believe it was actually those mischievous toy dinosaurs. 

The authors leave a cute little explanation in the back of the book about how they created an annual tradition - Dinovember - where every morning, their kids would wake up to find their toy dinosaurs in a different trouble-making scene.  So cute!
