The book of the day is Dennis Nolan’s Dinosaur Dream. When Wilbur hears a tapping noise at his window, he finds a baby dinosaur outside. He names it Gideon (after Gideon Mantell, discoverer of the first dinosaur fossil), and resolves to guide it safely home. Together, boy and beast set out on a walk that takes them not across a physical space but back through time. Nolan’s compelling language and rich watercolor art make for a dazzling fantasy adventure. #dinosaur #dream #dinosaurs #book #books #childrensbooks #beautifulbook #beautifulbooks #beautifulbookcover #beautifulbookcovers #picturebook #picturebooks #picturebookillustration #picturebookillustrations #picturebookart #classicchildrensbooks #childrensbookillustration #childrensliterature #illustration #kidlit #kidsbooks #bookworm #booklover #booklovers #bibliophile #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookstagrammers #instabook #instabooks
