Christmasaurus is a one-of-a-kind dinosaur who lives at the North Pole. His wish is to someday pull the sleigh on Christmas Eve, but first he must learn how to fly. Eating flying raindeer food didn't work. He'll need to wait and try next Christmas. The Christmasaurus tried thinking happy thoughts, only to crash again. The next year Santa had wings made for him, but when even that didn't work, Santa invited him along, to ride in the sleigh. But when he falls into a chimney and Santa flies away, leaving the Christmasaurus behind.
Lyrical text and gorgeous illustrations make The Christmasaurus a fun holiday read. Nicely tightened down from Fletcher's novel; bringing the story to a picture book makes so much sense.
