His feet go STOMP! His jaws go CRUNCH! In the blink of an eye you'll be his LUNCH!

All young dinosaurs are warned about the scary Gigantosaurus. So Bonehead volunteers to be the dino-kids' lookout whenever they go into the jungle to play. Unfortunately, he is the original boy-dinosaur who cried wolf, or in this case, GIGANTOSAURUS! Finally, Bonehead's friends refuse to believe his warnings, and the Gigantosaurus really turns up!

In a vertical gatefold surprise, it looks like Bonehead has got crunched - but in a hilarious reveal, we discover this annoying little dinosaur is safe after all.
