The Dinosaurs are Having a Party

Author: Gareth P JonesIllustrator: Garry Parsons

The dinosaurs are having a party, and strangely enough they’ve invited a young boy. He’s the guest of honour at their party tea, but the barbeque has no food on it! The bouncy castle is great fun, at least until the spikey stegosaurus takes a turn, and everyone really enjoys musical bumps. It’s a very noisy party but there will be no complaints from the neighbours. The little boy is having a good time at the dinosaurs party, but when T-Rex appears it’s time to grab a party bag and RUN!

Garry Parsons’ bright and colourful dinosaurs are mostly fun and friendly, but the surprise T-Rex spread is delightfully menacing. With a bouncing rhyme and visual feast of laughs and thrills, there is lots to enjoy here; children will love being in on the joke with the dinosaurs and the final spread is a real tickle. This prehistoric party will delight little dinosaur fanatics and would make the perfect birthday present to take to (and read aloud at) a birthday celebration!
