Gigantosaurus

Book Synopsis

All young dinosaurs are warned about the scary Gigantosaurus. So Bonehead volunteers to be the dino-kids lookout whenever they go into the jungle to play. Unfortunately, he is the original boy-dinosaur who cried wolf, or in this case, GIGANTOSAURUS! Finally, Bonehead’s friends refuse to believe his warnings and the Gigantosaurus really turns up! In a vertical gatefold surprise, it looks like Bonehead has got crunched – but in a hilarious reveal we discover this annoying little dinosaur is safe after all.

Our Review Panel says...

From the creator of ‘The Pirates Next Door’ comes a wonderful tale by Jonny Duddle. This version of the book, a special 10 year anniversary edition, includes bonus material to engage and entertain readers. With a natural rhyming flow to each page, speech bubbles and words presented in a way to draw the reader in, the story is a delight for young and old.

You don’t need to be a dinosaur fan to enjoy this book but if you are, the additional features at the end of the story are sure to delight. There are facts about the dinosaurs featured in the book, information about the real dinosaur that the Gigantosaurus was based on as well as a ‘how to draw dinosaurs’ guide.

This is a wonderful, fun book which also has a moral tale to tell with the bonus of detailed illustrations and facts about the dinosaurs.
