Dino-Hockey by Lisa Wheeler

For one cent, I am a million percent satisfied. I like that it teaches dinosaur names and hockey terms and that it's wonderfully illustrated.

And, unlike many books, their attention didn't wander to something else during the story leaving me to finish reading on my own.
