"In the latest installment of the Dino-Holidays series, a jaunty rhyme scheme ('Out back, little cousins play:/ Ping-pong, tag, and lawn croquet./ Raptor helps them fly a kite./ They're building up an appetite!') ...depict dinosaurs coming together in chaotic community to observe Thanksgiving. The dinos, it turns out, celebrate much the same way humans do: visiting family; watching the annual Thanksgiving parade and football games; cooking and eating a variety of dishes, including 'turkey, stuffing, pie, and more'; and gathering around a bonfire with their community. While the holiday's grim origins are largely omitted, aside from a parade balloon wearing a Puritan's hat, the mention of football team 'the Redscales' strikes a problematic note. Even so, this glimpse of prehistoric reptiles giving thanks should entertain young dinosaur fans." (Publishers Weekly)

"It's time to celebrate another holiday with the dinosaurs, and this time they're filled with Thanksgiving cheer. Preparations for the big day are underway: there are groceries to procure, flights to catch, and turkeys to brine (don't worry, the triceratops is making veggie options, too). Wheeler's silly, rhyming text has a pleasing bounce, impressively managing to rhyme tricky dinosaur names with familiar traditions. Young readers will recognize many of the traditions from their own celebrations, and if they're disappointed to see the festivities end, never fear: on the last page, dinosaurs look forward to decorating Easter eggs. A delightful holiday read-aloud for dinosaur devotees." (Booklist)
