Obviously set in the time when Dinosaurs walked the earth, we first meet Smallasaurus, an endearing little blue dino who enjoys a plant based diet and who spots some tasty ferns by a large rock. However, the rock turns out to be Badasaurus, who very much likes to eat small dinosaurs who enjoy a plant-based diet.
Smallasaurus has to think, which can be a problem when you only have a brain the size of a walnut. Luckily, Badasaurus only has a brain the size of a peanut . . . and so the chase begins!
Little do they know that Worseasaurus is lurking, and that he likes nothing better than a choice of two meaty dinosaurs for breakfast.
Perfectly paired with the vibrant and characterful illustrations, this is a text which could successfully be used to introduce the concept of food chains. With a lovely use of droll repetitive phrases like ‘it’s going to be a sad and terrible ending’ in the familiar fortunately/unfortunately story structure and with inventive use of font size, layout and page turn, this will be an absolute joy to read aloud!
Set back in the days When Dinosaurs Walked the Earth, this is a hilarious picture-book about Smallasaurus, who enjoys a plant-based diet, and Badasaurus who likes to eat small dinosaurs who enjoy a plant-based diet.
Read the full description
It all begins when Smallasaurus has to think. And thinking can be a problem when you only have a brain the size of a walnut. Luckily, Badasaurus only has a brain the size of a peanut . . . and so begins a hilarious game of 'cat and mouse'. It's not long before their chasing here, there and everywhere attracts the attention of an absolutely enormous and rather hungry meat-eating dinosaur called Worseasaurus.
A choice of two dinosaurs is just what Worseasaurus loves for breakfast. Will she eat the small dinosaur, with a plant-based diet?Or will she eat the great big dinosaur, with a small-dinosaur-based diet? It doesn't take long for her to choose. And it doesn't take long for Badasaurus to find out. And that's how it sometimes was back in the days . . . When Dinosaurs Walked the Earth
Learn about the food chain with this funny and brightly illustrated story about Smallasaurus (who likes to eat plants), Badasaurus (who likes to eat dinosaurs) and Worsesaurus (who likes to eat both). - The Bookseller
