Description
Find out how to catch a dinosaur – and what to do next – in this funny and heartwarming picture book with compassion and community at its heart.
Felix has a big dream: he wants to catch a dinosaur! Armed with determination and a bit of creativity, he sets up a trap at the bottom of his garden. But what do dinosaurs eat? Cold sausages? Chocolate cake? Nothing seems to work, but just when Felix is about to give up, his dream comes true. And yet, maybe it wasn’t such a great idea after all?
From Josh Lacey and Momoko Abe, the creators of The Pet Potato, comes this funny and heartwarming book about morality, empathy and togetherness in a neighbourhood.
