Hang out with us and the dinos as we throw a WonderWeek inspired by Mark Teague's entertaining books. Dive into the tales of dinosaurs, a detective dog and letters to Mrs. LaRue. Found out answers to important questions like 'How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight?' or 'How Do Dinosaurs Go To School?' We're kicking it with the dinos and dogs this WonderWeek as we dive into Teague's world.
