Stegothesaurus by Bridget Heos

5.0

I love this book so much. Not just because it's clever, funny, and features my favorite dinosaur and emphasizes word nerdiness. But also because there's an allosaurus in the book. And as all Firefly fans will recognize, brings to mind this dialogue from the show:

Wash's Stegosaurus : Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... "This Land.".

'Wash's Allosaurus : I think we should call it "your grave!".

Wash's Stegosaurus : Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!

'Wash's Allosaurus : Har har har! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die!

[the Allosaurus attacks the Stegosaurus]

Wash's Stegosaurus : Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!
