Dinosaur Storytime! Featuring Author Cheryl Bardoe
On Sunday, November 20th at 2 PM, The Book Stall at Chestnut Court (811 Elm Street in Winnetka, IL) is pleased to present writer Cheryl Bardoe, reading from and signing copies of her new picture book, The Ugly Duckling Dinosaur. We’ll give away free dinosaurs to all attendees as long as supplies last! Recommended for dinosaur fans ages 4-8, this event is free and open to the public.
Kirkus Reviews says of The Ugly Duckling Dinosaur, “Andersen's classic fairy tale gets a prehistoric setting and cast of characters…Backmatter includes detailed scientific drawings of the featured dinosaurs, an artist's note, bibliography and suggestions for further reading. The author's note explains how ‘ducks’ and dinosaurs lived in the same time period—recently discovered fossil evidence marks Vegavis iaai as an ancestor to today's ducks and geese.”
