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
The complete story and original illustrations of Tyrannosaurus Drip by Julia Donaldson and David Roberts have been specially designed into an early reader format. Created with expert advice from a literacy consultant, Let's Read! Tyrannosaurus Drip is intended to help and encourage children who are growing in reading confidence.
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 . . .
'This is a great series which, by using well-loved stories, will encourage young children to become enthusiastic, independent readers.' - Dr Fiona Maine, Lecturer in Literacy Education, University of Cambridge.
