At the same time the Dinosaur exhibition on the Coolsingel in Rotterdam is on, we place with pleasure one of our favorite dinosaur books in the spotlight. The book is called Tyrannosaur Drip and it is written by Julia Donaldson. We know her already from her picture book The Gruffalo.
Her original outlook on stereotypical subjects is apealing to our mini-monsters and the short ryming text is, as always, very funny. The book is also very well translated into Dutch by Bette Westera, the jokes remained perfectly intact.
The brilliant illustrations are by David Roberts, a British illustrator with his own unique style. His funny, original pictures give the story real umph. And good news! He has illustrated maaany more funny children's books.
3 beautiful glowing stars for Tyrannosaurys Drip, the read-out-loud readers and their mini-listeners warmly recommend it!
