Books with title The Day of the Dinosaurs

New author Judson Troop’s debut novel, The Gatekeeper: Day of the Dinosaurs, is a fascinating giant of a tale for young readers. And by “giant,” the author means to submerge young readers into a world of dinosaurs, Native American legends, time travel, and prehistory. Eleven-year-old Rickey Ellis has more to worry about than classroom bullies and school rivals. While he’s on a fieldtrip to a curious museum built over a quarry filled with fossilized dinosaurs in northwest Colorado, he accidently unlocks a time portal. Once a closely guarded secret by a now long-vanished tribe known as the Makori, there might be something to an ancient Indian legend about stone giants. At first, only Rickey can make out the strange creatures, but as time passes, more and more townspeople catch sight of and sense the danger. Even the landscape and weather around the town begins to change from a mountainous spring chill to that of a tropical forest. Readers are in for a “prehistoric” lesson as Rickey discovers firsthand the age-old adage to be careful what we wish for—it might just happen.

An energetic bedtime romp in the land of dinosaurs. It's a dark, thundery night and two children lie in bed, afraid and unable to sleep. Then their cat says he wants to show them where all the noise outside is really coming from. And so begins a magical journey as the cat leads the children back through millions of years to a jungle of long, long ago. There, a group of dinosaurs are dancing the night away. The children romp and stomp, whoop and swoop with a tyrannosaurus rex, a brontosaurus, and a stegosaurus. And, when they become sleepy and can dance no more, there is only one place they want to be—back home, safe in bed.
