They rocked and rolled, they twirled and tromped! They had themselves a Dinosaur Stomp! With illustrations by Scott Nash that leap off the page like a raptor doing the fandango, Carol Diggory Shields tells dinosaur devotees all about reptilian revelry in verses with a foot-tapping, tail-whacking beat. (Imagine a little Cajun music in the background.).

 TODAY'S RECIPE & NUTRITION TIP! Perfect Grilled Eggplant from The Spruce Eats ~ "Grilled eggplant can be one of the great treats of summer—lusciously tender eggplant, with bits of crispy charred edges here and there. It works on its own, as part of a grilled vegetable platter, or even as a stand-in for a meat patty in burgers. . . . This easy recipe uses the power of salted water (or brining) to guarantee great grilled eggplant. " Find your Eggplant at the Mount Airy Main Street Farmers' Market this Wednesday, August 11th. According to WebMD, Eggplant is fat-free, it possesses antioxidants like vitamins A and C, and is a great source for potassium and fiber. Did you know that . . .?
