Dino Dad Reviews

So I have a new blog called Dino Dad Reviews! This Stuckasaurus blog never did attract many visitors, so I'm mostly using this post to link to a bunch of my new posts to try to boost their standings in The Algorithm.

I was super excited to get my signed copy of Cruisin' the Fossil Coastline, a sequel to Kirk Johnson and Ray Troll's classic Cruisin' the Fossil Freeway. I love Ray Troll's art, and have a bit of a personal connection to it.

Speaking of personal connections, reading Jason Chin's Grand Canyon got me really nostalgic for the Disneyland Railroad. The Grand Canyon/Primeval World diorama is partially responsible for my dino obsession.

I'm pretty pleased with my review of The Dinosaurs of Waterhouse Hawkins, and it's proved to be a bit of a hit on my blog.

Speaking of hits, it's got nothing on the Ultimate Dinopedia (authored by the great Dino Don!), which has twice the hits of any other review on my blog!

Mammoth Is Mopey (by David Orr of Love in the Time of Chasmosaurs) is perhaps my favorite book I've reviewed so far, and I'd really like to see it in the hands of more kids everywhere!

ROAR: A Dinosaur Tour has a similar art style to Mammoth Is Mopey, though it doesn't have quite the same concern for fidelity to its subjects.

Pinnochio Rex is my most recent review, and is a great primer on the diversity of the tyrannosaur family.

That's all for now. I'm probably just going to use this blog to promote Dino Dad Reviews from now on, so if anybody stumbles upon this page, be sure to go check out that website instead!
