Tyrannoclaus

32 pp. | HarperCollins | October, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-0-06-117054-6 $16.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by John Shroades. Clement C. Moore's poem is the inspiration for this dino-themed adaptation: "'Twas the night before Christmas in dinosaur land. / Tyrannoclaus hurried, his helpers at hand." Somewhat garish cartoon-style illustrations show Tyrannoclaus and his assistants busily preparing for Christmas in a sleeping volcano called the North Pole. Dinosaur fans will be pleased with the text's rhymes: "On Raptor! On Rexy! On Mimus and Saurus!"
Reviewer: Sheila M. Geraty
