If your child has a dinosaur of any type (stuffed animal, plastic toy, homemade, any dinosaur!), you can share their adventures with us and we'll include them in our DINOvember collection of pictures online and/or in our library. If you don't have any dinosaurs, we have 4 sets of dinosaurs available to check out from the library.
