Fabulous rhyming

Great book and adored by my 5 year old. The rhyming is really fun to read!

children's book

My 3 year old grandson loves this book--wonderful drawings, and a story he can follow.

A good read for little'uns who love their dinosaurs

I found this book a little scary, but my three year old grandson adores it It has been a nightly bed-time read for the past six weeks. Well written as always (although some of the lines to not scan as neatly as other Donaldson writing) Illustrations are charming although I prefer the style of the illustrations for Stick Man.

another great book by Julia

WE LOVE JULIA's books! She is a wonderful, fun, joyous writer who tells fabulous tales with a subtle lesson in each one. We own almost everything by her now.

The whimsical illustrations add the perfect touch to this delightful dino-adventure.

Tyrannosaurus Drip is a charming children's picturebook about a conflict between dinosaurs. The peaceful, plant-eating duckbill dinosaurs live across the river from the ferocious, meat-eating T-Rexes. And what the T-Rexes want to eat most is duckbill dinosaur meat! When a duckbill egg hatches in a T-Rex nest, the little duckbill named Drip finds that he just can't adapt to their carnivorous ways. Not only does little Drip find solace with the other duckbills, he proved clever and heroic enough to save them all from the T-Rex menace! The whimsical illustrations add the perfect touch to this delightful dino-adventure.
