The Dinosaur-A-Day Christmas Advent

December 23rd Fossilized Psittacosaur Family

• This fossil illustrated here is proof that some species of dinosaurs lived in family groups, with the young living in a nest with a parent.
• Christmas wish list: The Fossilized Psittacosaur Family has one wish--to come to life and celebrate the night before Christmas! They need your help! Please comment, if there are enough comments, I'm sure the Psittacosaurs will come to LIFE!

December 22nd Allosaurus in a flash flood

(to the tune of Chestnuts Roasting...)

"Allosaurus in a flash flood,

Jack Frost freezing T-rex's nose,

Apatosaurus, sinking into some tar,

and folks getting cooked by volcanos."

That's my Christmas song about dinosaur extinction, it didn't make the book, it's a work in progress.

December 21st Purple Devilsaurus

• Purple Devilsaurus can be seen here, in her natural habitat, a crowded doorway. (Lower left corner, with the Barbie.) This particular Purple Devilsaurus is from a page in The Devil You Know.
• Christmas wish list: Purple Devil--"HEY! Is that YELLOWBELLY AND PLUM behind her! Wow! This is such a big surprise! Tell us, what are you working on? Will there be a sequel to your big hit book? What do YOU want for Christmas? This is fantastic!"                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       ....Purple Devilsaurus just wants a little peace and quiet.

December 20th LEGOsaurus

• Isn't he super! I love it! The image for LEGOsaurus is not mine, it is clipped from a European ad campaign.
• Christmas wish list: LEGOsaurus needs nothing. He is completely at peace with existence.
  

[UPDATE] The Layton Barnes & Noble signing is off. I woke up soooo sick. Hello Ther-a-flu, how are you?

December 19th Plateosaurus

• Plateosaurus traveled in herds across Europe, during the Triassic period, when Europe was a desert. Like humans, Plateosaurus had five digits on each hand.
• Christmas wish list: Rapunzel's Revenge--in HARDCOVER, which is getting hard to find, it's now back ordered on Amazon.

December 18th Stegosaurus

• Scientists claim Stegosaurus was an herbivore, grazing on plants. But I have a different theory. I think Stegosaurus was a meat eater, and this is how it operated: it would charge under the belly of a larger dinosaur, the plates on its back would slice open the dino from underneath, and all the guts would fall out. Then Stegosaurus would use the spikes on its tail to shish-kebab the guts for later. It's gross, but it's my theory.
• Christmas wish list: All Stegosaurus wants for Christmas is his two front teeth.

December 17th Quetzocoatlus

• Technically, pterosaurs weren't dinosaurs, they were flying reptiles. Quetzo was the biggest of all the pterosaurs with a nearly 40 foot wing span.
• Christmas wish list: Custom "flame" paint job for beak. That would look so cool.
