LoveReading4Kids Says
A mix up with eggs has a placid duckbill dinosaur being brought up by
T-Rex’s – clearly this causes hilarious problems. With Julia
Donaldson’s irresistible, rollicking rhyming text and David Roberts’
glorious illustration, this bold and brilliant picture book crackles
with wit. A future classic is born as is a terrific new partnership of
author and illustrator too.

Tyrannosaurus Drip Synopsis
Everyone knows that tyrannosauruses are big and scary, so when a placid duckbill dinosaur's egg ends up in the wrong nest confusion is sure to ensue! When the baby dinosaur hatches out, he's so out of place that his grisly big sisters call him Tyrannosaurus Drip. Poor little Drip: all he wants is a quiet life munching on water weed.
