This Wednesday, May 15, is National Dinosaur Day! At least, according to some sources. I’m seeing evidence that it’s May 15, but also that it’s celebrated on the “third Tuesday in May” which would be May 21. And apparently it’s also observed on June 1. So, yeah, things aren’t entirely well-defined there, but if you’ve read anything about paleontology, you’ll know that this seems appropriate: the things we know about dinosaurs are constantly being updated as new discoveries are made, and our understanding of dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures continues to grow and evolve.
Whether you want to celebrate National Dinosaur Day this week, next week, or at the beginning of June (or why not all three?), here are a stack of picture books and comic books about dinosaurs.
Tiny the T. Rex wants to cheer up his friend Pointy the Stegosaurus, so he’s on a mission to learn how to hug. But, as everyone knows, a T. Rex has very tiny arms and hugging is pretty hard. Tiny asks various family members for advice (to varying degrees of success), but he’s very determined. It’s a sweet book for anyone who loves cute (and silly) little dinosaurs.
