Bone by Bone by Sara Levine

This book is a fantastic introduction to comparing animal skeletons and looking at how vertebrate animals are related to each other in a fun way. The illustrations by T.S. Spookytooth are accurate and entertaining.

Giant Rubber Dinos

Last year, these were Christmas gifts to all the kiddos I know. My daughter’s dinosaur never left her side. Charlie the Triceratops even had breakfast with her after all the presents were opened.

Chickadee Apron

This is a super cute apron in the style of one of my favorite dresses. I’m planning on sending one to each of my friends, along with a batch of Christmas cookies.

Linus the Vegetarian T-Rex

This is a great intermediate book for newer readers to read themselves and for adults to read to younger kids, too! It is cute and funny and we like to see something silly for the vegetarians out there!

Dinosaur Tie

Classy dinosaur ties are not that common to buy! (Believe me, I’ve looked.) I am excited to get this for my husband. He is a teacher and the kids love his ties. He will use it to get them excited about dinosaurs!

“I love you this much” Tee

Who doesn’t want an ironic dinosaur tee and especially one mocking T-rex? I only wish this came in more colors so I could don all my nieces and nephews in it.

Caterpillar to Butterfly 

This is informative without becoming complex, colorful but not cartoony, and an excellent guide for any lepidopterist-in-training.
