Have You Seen Dinosaur? (Hardcover)

,
Play hide and seek with a boy, his animal friends and a dinosaur that's surprisingly hard to spot in the city. The brilliantly interactive follow-up to international bestselling picture book, Have You Seen Elephant? Best friends boy, dog, and elephant are VERY good at hide-and-seek. There's a missing dinosaur in the city--who better to spot this elusive giant? They search the skate park, the museum, the subway . . . No one in the city can spot the dinosaur, not even this expert hide-and-seek team. But delighted readers will be pointing "There it is!" from the first page. This absurd, laugh-out-loud picture book is richly illustrated with David Barrow's trademark beautiful use of light and color and dramatic cityscapes--a guaranteed hit with dinosaur-loving toddlers. With clues, surprises, and humor, this game-inside-a-book celebrates imaginative play and is perfect for sharing with children who will love being better at finding the dinosaur than their adult reader. David Barrow received the Sebastian Walker award for most promising children's illustrator from the Cambridge School of Art. His first book Have You Seen Elephant? was shortlisted for the Waterstones Prize and is a bestseller around the world. Praise for Have You Seen Elephant? "Beyond the sheer absurdity, children will delight in details, such as the wide-screen TV the elephant holds in one scene, the child's dad so focused on the soccer game on the screen that he asks, 'What elephant?' and the sly alterations to the family portraits on the rear endpapers. Younger audiences will be screaming 'There it is!' from the get-go."--starred, Kirkus Reviews "This amusingly absurd story paired with the warm and wonderful illustrations will have kids coming back again and again."--starred, School Library Journal "Best of all this book will stand the test of time as there's something new to be found on every page as you reread."--The Bookbag UK
