    About this audiobook

    America's favorite dinosaurs romp and roar as they soak books in the bathtub, throw them, and finally learn how to enthusiastically — and carefully — read them...with Mama and Papa at bedtime.

    Get ready to laugh at this lighthearted, heartwarming, and funny approach to audiobooks!

    Children sometimes feel the task of learning to read is overwhelming, but this audiobook provides a perfect way to present the subject in a comical, engaging, and nonjudgmental way. The contrast of enormous dinosaurs in kid-size bedrooms (with human parents) adds irresistible humor as families explore the do's and don'ts of reading. Both practical and engaging, this book shows dinosaurs getting into all sorts of reading-related trouble! But of course, in the end, the dinosaurs learn how to carefully handle their books, read out loud, and read a lot!

    Each audiobook in the endlessly popular How Do Dinosaurs series is a combination of childish antics followed by a gentle lesson. This audiobook, the 12th, is designed to get your own little dinosaur excited about learning to read — especially this word: dinosaur!
