Description

Since Toy Story (and maybe since the very first toys!) children and their parents have wondered what it would be like if toys came to life. Refe and Susan Tuma take this wonder several steps further in WHAT THE DINOSAURS DID LAST NIGHT.

Every November, writer and social media master Refe Tuma and his wife Susan work into the night to bring their four children scenes from the secret lives of their toys - specifically the night-time antics of their plastic dinosaurs. The dinosaurs wreck bathrooms, destroy vases, rock out, encounter terrifying hot irons, even do the dishes with hilarious, magical results. Each scene is photographed in meticulous detail, letting viewers joyfully suspend belief and think to themselves - just LOOK what the dinosaurs did last night!

Reviews

"Filled with photographic proof of the dinosaurs' escapades and the parents' heroic creativity, it's a mood-boosting page-turner for anyone who has ever posed a plastic toy." "Wendy Donahue, "Chicago Tribune"""
"One couple's silly plan to thrill their kids went viral. A peek at their new book makes it obvious why." "Dawn Raffel, "Reader's Digest"""
What the Dinosaurs Did Last Night ""begins with a rather moving six-page introduction.... It's surprising how much merry mileage the Tumas get out of their mischievous, gremlin-like troublemakers.... Kids will get a real jolt out of this, though it's adults who will appreciate it most." "Daniel Kraus, Booklist"""
"Hilarious, magical, and simply fabulous." "Amy Joyce, "The Washington Post"""
