Why Kids Love Dinosaur Bedtime Stories

Dinosaurs are one of the most universally exciting topics for young children. They are big, mysterious, and lived in a world completely different from ours. That combination of wonder and safety, since dinosaurs are long gone, makes them perfect for bedtime. A dinosaur story lets kids feel the thrill of a T-Rex adventure while still ending up safe and cozy in bed. Dinosaur stories also work well for preschoolers because the characters are larger than life and easy to imagine. A child does not need context or backstory to understand a brave T-Rex or a hungry herbivore. The stories connect instantly.
