Trade Review
Even the youngest of children are fascinated by dinosaurs, and this clever, vivid picture book uses funny poems to introduce simple facts about these extinct creatures. -- Sally Morris * Daily Mail *
With lively performative text in free verse and colourful, expressive graphic illustrations, this is a book for anyone who is keen to enjoy the facts and the drama of dinosaurs without pretending you could have one as a pet. -- Nicolette Jones * Sunday Times *

A large-format, romping, stomping treasure, beautifully produced and one hopes, likely to turn a fair number of dinosaur-fanatic children into poetry enthusiasts too. * Red Reading Hub *
