Dino Village: Ten Cozy Bedtime Stories

About this book

Welcome to Dino Village, a cozy little village in a golden valley, where the lanterns are lit one by one every night and nobody is ever in a hurry to say goodnight. In this first Dino Village book, your child will meet Tilly the baby Triceratops, her best friend Pebble, Pip the tiny mail-carrying Pteranodon, Bram the sleepy Stegosaurus baker, Fern, who plays lullabies on the long crest of her head, Grandma Nana, and Mr. Ember, the kind old T. rex who lights the lane. Inside are ten gentle five-minute stories, each with a full watercolor illustration: The Lost Lantern; Pip's Last Letter; Bram Bakes the Moon; Fern Forgets the Lullaby; Pebble's Brave Little Night; The Windy Night; Grandma Nana and the Star Blanket; The First Golden Leaf; The Moonpond Choir; Goodnight, Dino Village. Every story has a tiny problem, a warm middle, and a slow, sleepy ending written to settle little listeners down, and the book finishes with "Goodnight in the Vale," a two-minute bedtime ritual your family can borrow every night. Perfect for ages 3–8: soothing read-alouds for toddlers and preschoolers, and gentle first chapter reads for early readers. No scary parts, no peril, just lantern light, warm bread, and goodnights said slowly.
