The Dino Holidays series is a fun addition to the Dino Sports universe. These books don't really do much to explain the reason for the holidays featured, instead focusing on some traditions that will be easily recognizable to children who celebrate them. The rhymes are simple and delightful but might go over the heads of some younger readers who are more interested in seeing what seasonal shenanigans the dinosaurs get up to.
This time, Halloween prompts us to consider the fact that this dino society has a pop culture similar to our own. Star Trek, Spider-Man (Spider-Dino?), Beetlejuice, Frankenstein, and Doctor Who exist in the public consciousness alongside superheroes, clowns, and astronauts. Is space travel possible in their world or is it just a story they tell their children and daydream about? If they have reached the stars already, does that mean the space race happened? Some of these costumes also prove the existence of knights, ninjas, pirates, the Wild West, the navy, and a monarchy. There is clearly a rich history and many expansive dinosaur cultures that we are not yet privy to, and I am curious to know more.
