Tyrannosaurus Drip

Product Information

This latest offering from Gruffalo author Julia Donaldson sees her teaming up with illustrator David Roberts. The text is full of different types of punctuation too, to help children get used to the different types and their functions. Finely crack some hard boiled eggs, dip in food colouring and peel after a few hours to make mysteriously patterned eggs to put in your nest. Adorable and look forward to reading it in story time in full length or shortened or even as a felt story.

A rhyming text with a memorable refrain, along with a gentle anti-war message and bold, appealing illustrations, will make this book a welcome addition to any child’s library. The text is scattered with a few bigger and more complex word, especially the names of some dinosaurs which will challenge younger readers abilities, but with potential help from an adult should be easy to understand. Our suspicions that a dinosaur was on the school premises was confirmed when Miss Cochrane showed us a picture of a T-rex outside school! Julia Donaldson and David Roberts have created such a wonderful story following two different dinosaur species.I really enjoy getting the children in the audience to help me act out the stories and sing the songs.

At one point I was even cheering for the T-rexes, because at least they showed emotion and had a goal. This was the first of my books that David Roberts illustrated, and we had a memorable launch in the Natural History Museum, presided over by a gigantic dinosaur skeleton.This is a romp of fun with pull-on- your-heart -strings illustrations about a little dinosaur and a T Rex Groom and Bride that so want to get their scrawny arms on their juicy duckbill dinosaur neighbors.

You can even discuss the differences between herbivores and carnivores, habitats, and predator-prey relationships if your kiddo is inclined to notice and ask about those things (mine is).
