Dinos Driving - Hardcover

by Lynn Leitch (Author), Scot Ritchie (Illustrator)

A witty and whimsical picture book for young fans of dinosaurs
and vehicles alike.

What kind of a car would a tiny Velociraptor drive? Perhaps
a mini car? But what would suit a vegetarian Iguanodon or a pack of rowdy
Triceratops? What would an ideal vehicle be for a T-rex? Whatever it is, it had
better come with an adjustable steering wheel for those short arms!

Illustrated by award-winning artist Scot Richie, this
humorous picture book helps dinosaurs find their perfect way to get around. Carnotaurus,
Brachiosaurus, Diplodocus, and more, ride around on a variety of vehicles that
suit their style, anatomy, and nature. At story time, readers will ask
themselves the inevitable question: out of all the things that go, what would
my favorite dinosaur drive?

Scot Richie's fun and witty dinosaurs will have
children laughing at the absurdity of a T-rex in a monster truck, while they
simultaneously learn the names of these prehistoric creatures. Author Lynn
Leitch includes preschooler-friendly dinosaur facts that help readers to go
beyond the story. A closing page of activities is included to further enrich
the reading experience.
