IF DINOSAURS LIVED IN MY TOWN

What would you do if you saw dinosaurs playing baseball, joining the marching band, or even cooking spaghetti? Imagine a town where dinosaurs never went extinct. What would you do? Would you frantically run away and hide under your bed? Or would eat hamburgers with a Tyrannosaurus rex; go fishing with a Rhamphorhynchus; or travel through space with a Coelophysis? The possibilities are endless!

To capitalize on early years' fascination with dinosaurs, the creatures are spied out of their natural habitats in crazy settings to give children a sense of the scale of these amazing creatures. Fully-realized, to-scale illustrations are superimposed on actual photographs, and each dino is portrayed in a way that children can immediately understand and relate to. With whimsy and creativity, children about the size and essential characteristics of 30 different dinosaurs, with memorable and amazing visuals. From the T.Rex hamburger-eating contest to the stegosaurus jungle gym, children will be enthralled by these lifelike (but endearing) illustrations of dinos doing things they do.
