Have You Seen Dinosaur?

A little boy, his dog and his friend Elephant decide to go looking for dinosaurs in a city that looks remarkably like New York. They try the museum, the underground train, the skate park, but the trio find it very hard to spot any at all! Finally, when they rest at the top of a rather comfy green hill, they realise what they’ve been overlooking.

This delightful, fun book, like Barrow’s previous book Have You Seen Elephant? plays with the idea that the characters can’t see the dinosaurs who are hiding in plain sight, but the reader definitely can! Little ones will delight in pointing out the dinosaur legs, faces and tails which are “hidden” in a variety of places in the cityscape.

This is also a lovely story about friendship, and Barrow’s artwork is dreamy, painterly and stunning as well as being totally perfect for young readers. A fabulous read for any time of day, which will definitely get plenty of repeat reads.
