Here’s a clever and entertaining take on the ‘am I your mummy?’ formula. It opens two hundred million years ago. An egg is blown out of a nest by the wind and rolls down a hill. The egg is sure it’s a dinosaur, but what kind?
As various dinosaurs walk past, the egg’s insider asks them, ‘am I yours?’ As they helpfully describe themselves, the egg checks the descriptions against its own appearance: short neck, so not a brachiosaurus; no sharp horns, so not a triceratops; no crest, so not a Corythosaurus.
Eventually, the friendly dinosaurs work it out and push the egg home. This will delight young palaeontologists with its parade of dinosaurs but there’s lots for everyone: a jolly rhyming text; a mystery; STEM skills and a demonstration of logic; a happy ending. Alex Latimer’s inky prints set the dinosaurs stomping across the pages and the endpapers (spot the VW Beetle!) are an extra treat.
This new edition of Alex Latimer's best-loved internationally bestselling picture book is perfect for young dinosaur enthusiasts!
