How Do Dinosaurs Learn to Read?
Jane Yolen & Mark Teague · 2019
🎙 Narrated by Jane Yolen
77/100
👍 Worth It
Another sweet entry in the series, this time nudging kids toward loving books through the usual bad-habit-then-good-habit dinosaur formula. It won't surprise anyone who's heard the others, but the message about family reading time lands well. Yolen's own narration makes it feel personal and is worth the listen for that alone.
