Dinosaur's Night Before Christmas, The Night Before Christmas

To save Christmas, a father and son must battle eight not-so-tiny dinosaurs . . .

It’s Christmas Eve and Dad is up late, testing a game for his son. A sudden ruckus outside brings him to his feet, and when he looks into the sky, he can hardly believe his eyes. Eight gigantic dinosaurs are pulling a strange UFO across the sky!

It isn’t long before this night before Christmas turns into a nightmare. The ferocious dinosaurs—Smasher, Splinter, Crusher, Fang, Biter, Slang, Stomper and a mean, mighty T-Rex dressed like an evil St. Nick—soon start destroying the neighborhood, gobbling up the presents, and ruining Christmas.

When Dad meets the real Santa Claus, the two of them, along with some amazing bubble gum, a powerful video gun, and some surprise helpers, engage in one epic battle to save Christmas. Imaginatively detailed illustrations from award-winning artist Jim Harris turn this hilarious and fantastic Christmas story into a larger-than-life Jurassic adventure!
