The Dino’s in Wheeler and Gott’s popular sports series are now doing holidays.  Halloween provides the Dinos a chance to go to the pumpkin patch, carve pumpkins, buy or make costumes and go trick-or-treating.  The same format found in the sports series is used here, rhyming action phrases littered with large font dinosaur names.  Not as many different dinosaur names appear in this one.  Half way through the story, the action refers to the previous dinosaurs and APATOSAURUS, who seems to always have a problem to solve.  Vocabulary includes grimace, finesse, anxious and feline.    Besides the one item parent’s won’t allow their children to have, apples, this provides a sweet dinosaur story for preschoolers preparing for Halloween night.
