Set back in the days WHEN DINOSAURS WALKED THE EARTH, this is a
hilarious picture-book about Smallasaurus, who enjoys a plant-based
diet, and Badasaurus who likes to eat small dinosaurs who enjoy a
plant-based diet. It all begins when Smallasaurus has to think. And
thinking can be a problem when you only have a brain the size of a
walnut. Luckily, Badasaurus only has a brain the size of a peanut .
. . and so begins a hilarious game of 'cat and mouse'. It's not
long before their chasing here, there and everywhere attracts the
attention of an absolutely enormous and rather hungry meat-eating
dinosaur called Worseasaurus. A choice of two dinosaurs is just
what Worseasaurus loves for breakfast. Will she eat the small
dinosaur, with a plant-based diet?Or will she eat the great big
dinosaur, with a small-dinosaur-based diet? It doesn't take long
for her to choose. And it doesn't take long for Badasaurus to find
out. And that's how it sometimes was back in the days . . . WHEN
DINOSAURS WALKED THE EARTH.
