Set back in the days WHEN DINOSAURS WALKED THE EARTH, this is a
hilarious picture-book bursting with jokes guaranteed to make
dinosaur fans giggle! It all begins when Badasaurus (a dinosaur who
likes to eat small dinosaurs who enjoy a plant-based diet) spots
Smallasaurus (a small dinosaur who enjoys a plant-based diet).
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 chase! It's not long before all their stomping 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

end. Co-authors Sean Taylor (picture book author) and Alex Morss
(ecologist, journalist, and educator) offer a gentle introduction
to the concept of hibernation. In the frosty, quiet forest, the
snow blankets the ground and the trees have shed their leaves.
Where have all the animals gone? Are they asleep too? In each
cutaway scene, see what the child cannot - that underground below
his feet are dens with sleeping creatures, and within the hollow
trunks of trees, animals are nesting. After the story, annotated
illustrations explain the hibernation facts for each animal and
what they will do when they wake up for spring. Cozy up as you
expand your and your child's knowledge of the natural world.

feasting on leaves... After the story, annotated illustrations

A laugh-out-loud page-turner from a brilliant author and
illustrator team. Praise for Hoot Owl, Master of Disguise: "This is
the funniest picture book I have read in a long time" David
Walliams Cat has found a pair of sunglasses. She thinks they are
going to make her look COOL. "I'm not just any old cat at the
playground," she says. "I'm a real cool cat, gliding backwards down
the slide, looking cooler than cool ... WITH EXTRA COOL ON TOP!"
She pops on the glasses ... confidently struts forwards and -
Meooaaaooow! - falls down the slide. Oh, how UNCOOL. Can Pig or
Cockatoo do any better? From the team behind Hoot Owl, Master of
Disguise and I Want to Be in a Scary Story comes a gloriously
slapstick title that celebrates friendship, play and being yourself
(no matter how goofy).
