"We have a secret: Mr Wilson is actually a dinosaur. For budding palaeontologists everywhere, this is a Jurassic joy!"
Liz is convinced that her next-door neighbour Mr Wilson is a dinosaur. Maybe a brachiosaurus or a diplodocus? But no-one else seemed to notice, no-one else believed her. After all, they became extinct over 65 million years ago and she would know as she's a dinosaur expert.
This book will have dinosaur lovers everywhere living in hope that one day they'll find the Narnia-esque tunnel leading to another world where dinosaurs still roam. I for one, hope and believe in that sprinkle of magic!
But unfortunately one person did listen and Mr Wilson was whisked away, all in the name of science and Liz is heartbroken.
From the award-winning author of The Bear and the Piano and Kid Christmas this is a wonderful book, beautifully illustrated about acceptance and letting people live the lives they want to live. The community gets behind Liz's pleas and Mr Wilson is saved. Back to baking, cake decorating, cycling and living his best life.
