Dinosaur Police
‘RED ALERT!’ hollers Stig O ’Saurus. ‘There’s a rampaging T-Rex at the pizza factory!’ The police station at Dinoville erupts with activity, a charge headed by Inspector Sarah Tops. At the factory, pizzas are everywhere, half eaten, trampled, and only when the perpetrator, Trevor T-Rex, is full to bursting does he stop eating, …..and fall asleep. Every spread is packed with zany detail, characters tumbling across the pages in best comic strip action, the font constantly changing as each police attempt to capture T-Rex is aborted. All dinosaur fans will know that T-Rex has tiny front arms…. so small he immediately escapes the handcuffs! There is lots of huffing and galumphing and vroom vrooming, quite deafening on the page, which young readers will love sounding out. When the air squad are called in…… now, what dinosaurs would they be?? …surely a capture is imminent. And it is. This book will noisily capture the attention of all small dinosaur fans, and the resolution gives a page full of dinosaur burps, surprise, surprise ! This author/illustrator loves to write and draw in this boisterous, whacky style, and her readers will love it too.
