Description:
Three-year-old Fenn Rosenthal’s viral song about love, longing, and loss has melted the hearts of tens of millions of people on Tiktok, Instagram, Spotify and even on the Jimmy Fallon Show. Now readers of all ages can enjoy Fenn’s heartfelt, poignant lyrics again and again in this irresistible, sing-aloud picture book that includes exclusive extras!
Dinosaurs eat people, dinosaurs have a party, dinosaurs eat fruit and cucumber, but dinosaurs didn’t say goodbye! This sweet and deceptively simple story features all-new illustrations from Hannah Jacobs (the animator of the viral music video) that expand on Fenn’s lyrics and illuminate tender moments from these beloved dinosaurs’ journey. Also features an interview with Fenn as well as a bonus letter from her father and singer-songwriter, Tom Rosenthal.
Dinosaurs in Love is the perfect gift to share with anyone you’ve ever fallen in love with, whether it be your friends, your family, or even a treat for yourself.
My View:
The perfect, cutest Valentine’s Day read you will ever find.
After you have read the book, watch the Youtube video for another hit of cuteness. The world needs more smiles and this provides lots of them.
Oh, I didn’t know this had been made into a book, Carol! How enchanting! And I love it when young people write. They have such a unique perspective to share with us all, I think.
It’s very cute Margot – this is new on my radar. There is a nice piece at the end of the book where dad and daughter talk about the book.
