The tough working trucks in Kate and Jim McMullan's I Stink! (2002)
and sequels look like lightweights next to their brawny prehistoric
antecedents in Gall's rousing, grimy full-bleed spreads. Crushing
rocks and trees, flattening smaller creatures and sending
diminutive cave people fleeing in pop-eyed panic, a round dozen
metal behemoths roll by, from towering Craneosaurus - "CRACK,
MUNCH. / Look out birds, it's time for lunch!" - and the grossly
incontinent Blacktopodon to a stampede of heavily armored Semisaurs
and the "bully of the jungle," toothy Tyrannosaurus Trux. Why
aren't these motorized monsters with us today? They are, though in
the wake of a mighty storm that left most mired in the mud to rust,
the survivors went South and, as a climactic foldout reveals,
evolved into the more beneficent vehicles we know and love.
Dinotrux ruled their world, and now they're likely to rule this one
too. Bellow on! (Picture book. 5-9) (Kirkus Reviews)
Millions of years ago, DINOTRUX ruled the earth!These mighty
part-truck, part-dino demolition dynamos rumbled, plowed and
bulldozed their way through the centuries. From the nosy
Craneosaurus and hungry Garbageadon to the bully of the jungle,
Tyrannosaurus Trux, Chris Gall guides you on a safari through the
wild world of these mechanical monsters of prehistoric times. Feast
your eyes upon these mighty mobile creatures that once ruled the
earth, but now only rule the highways. Buckle up for the ride -
you'll never look at Dad's rusty old pickup the same way again!
What happened to the Dinotrux? Find out in a fold-out gatefold
detailing their evolution!
