This wonderful book by Tom Fletcher was recommended by my sister as a story her 3 year old son was enjoying. I immediately requested The Christmasaurus from our library, and even when it came in right after Christmas, we jumped right in. If your kids are little, the audio version might be easier to stomach, because the book is 350 pages long. I have read the whole thing aloud to my 6 year old, and my 3 year old has listened to a little over half quite happily.
The story follows the Christmas wishes of William who absolutely loves dinosaurs, and the year he met a real dinosaur from the North Pole. It is full of adventure, sweet moments, and plot points that allow for discussions about how to behave with our kids. It is so exciting! We did have a discussion about what a bullet is, but I would say that it's not too scary for young kids. The best ending too in a completely unexpected Christmas story.
I will definitely be reading the next book - The Christmasaurus and the Winter Witch - next Christmas. I will make sure to request it early so that we can read it during the Christmas season.
