Fast Five Fiction: Dino Chapter books

It's Friday, and dinosaurs have invaded the library!  All month long we'll be celebrating Dinovember in the children's department. From story time, displays, programs and some fun pictures on social media, we'll be having a ton of Dino Fun this month! A couple of weeks ago I shared some of my favorite dinosaur picture books. This week I've got five Dino-centric chapter books. Click on the title to be directed to our catalog to place a hold. 


Dinosaurs Before Dark by Mary Pope Osborne

Jack and Annie's very first fantasy adventure in the bestselling middle-grade series—the Magic Tree House!
