Dino-Boarding by Lisa Wheeler

Follows various dinosaurs as they compete in surfing, skateboarding, and snowboarding. Lots of technical lingo related to each sport, which will either spark kids' interest or fly over their heads. Each dinosaur is given a nickname based on its scientific name, like "Compy." When I said, "What's 'Compy' short for?" Husband not only knew right off the bat (it's short for Compsognathus), he acted like I was weird for not knowing. So at least I learned about Compsognathus, but other than that, I feel like the Dino-sport books are getting kind of old. Even so, I think kids will still like this book -- this may be yet another situation where I need to remind myself that I don't need to be mentally stimulated by every picture book that crosses my path. It's not about me; it's what the kids will enjoy.
