Children's ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
How Do Dinosaurs Choose Their Pets?
Jane Yolen · 2018
🎙 Narrated by Jane Yolen
76/100
👍 Worth It
Classic Yolen and Teague — dinosaurs misbehave, then model doing right by their pets, all in bouncy rhyme that's perfect for story time. It's slight by design since it's a picture book, but it does its job warmly and well. Jane Yolen narrating her own words adds a nice personal touch that makes it genuinely worth the listen.
