Dinosaur Days

This is the title of Charlie's new favorite book. He can pretty much recite along with it: "In the day of the dinosaurs there were no people. There were no cats or dogs. There were no cows or horses. What animals were there?" Here Charlie pipes up: "There were turtles! Fish! Crocodiles! And dragonflies!" When a giant crocodile is shown snapping its jaws at a chicken-sized dinosaur, Saltopus, Charlie screams: "THE GIANT CROCODILE IS TRYING TO EAT SALTOPUS!!! AAAAAAAAAH!!!!"

Sometimes I wonder about the appropriateness of this type of reading material before bed, but he just loves dinosaurs... And crocodiles... And sharks...

Ben has a dinosaur book that is loaded with phrases like "it had teeth perfect for ripping off bloody chunks of flesh" that we read before bed... he loves it.
