See morePlay hide and seek with a boy, his animal friends, and a dinosaur that's surprisingly hard to spot in the city. The brilliantly interactive follow-up to the international bestselling picture book Have You Seen Elephant?
Best friends boy, dog, and elephant are VERY good at hide-and-seek. There's a missing dinosaur in the city—who better to spot this elusive giant? They search the skate park, the museum, the subway...
No one in the city can spot the dinosaur, not even this expert hide-and-seek team. But delighted readers will be pointing "There it is!" from the first page.
This absurd, laugh-out-loud picture book is richly illustrated with David Barrow's trademark beautiful use of light and colour and dramatic cityscapes—a guaranteed hit with dinosaur-loving toddlers.
With clues, surprises, and humour, this game-inside-a-book celebrates imaginative play and is perfect for sharing with children who will love being better at finding the dinosaur than their adult reader.
David Barrow received the Sebastian Walker award for the most promising children's illustrator from the Cambridge School of Art. His first book, Have You Seen Elephant?, was shortlisted for the Waterstones Prize and is a bestseller around the world.
Praise for Have You Seen Dinosaur?

"What a delight this book is!" —starred, Youth Services Book Review
"Barrow's artwork is dreamy, painterly and stunning as well as being perfect for young readers." —BookTrust UK
"It reminds me a lot of Steve Light's Have You Seen MY Dragon? albeit with more dinos and less fire breathers. The two books together could make for a great pairing." —Betsy Bird, A Fuse #8 Production
"Delicious fun for observant young readers." —Books for Keeps, UK
"The joy lies in the interplay between the dead-pan words on the page, the images and the reader's engagement with the search." —Just Imagine
