Bookroo's summary

Doris the Bookasaurus adores books, but her brothers, Max and T.J., prefer games. When Doris reads a pirate tale aloud, their imaginations ignite, leading to an epic adventure to Sharktooth Bay. Can reading and playing coexist in their dino world? Discover how Doris and her siblings blend stories and playtime in this charming tale of family fun and imagination.

From the publisher

Hooray for books! They make me ROAR!

Doris the Bookasaurus thinks books are mega-dino-tastic! They make her spiky tail wiggle and her imagination soar.

Her boisterous little brothers, Max and T.J., do not agree. They want her to stop reading and play Chomp the Flag and STEGO Blocks . . . until Doris shares her pirate book aloud. Soon they’re using their imagination for on an epic adventure to Sharktooth bay.

With charming rhyming text about an adorable dinosaur family, Doris and her siblings show rambunctious readers everywhere that reading and playing go perfectly together!
