Publisher Description
A bilingual picture book that’s sweet enough to eat about a chatty bluebird and an indecisive T. Rex who can’t decide what his next meal should be, introducing readers to basic Spanish and English food vocabulary.
When a bluebird comes upon a dinosaur who’s down in the dumps, he asks what’s wrong.
“¡Tengo hambre!” says the dinosaur. I’m hungry!
Does the dinosaur want a banana?
“¿Plátano? No.”
Fish?
“¿Pescado? No, gracias.”
Nothing seems to do the trick! What does dinosaur want to eat? This delightful bilingual picture book is about finding just the right food—and just the right friend. Perfect for fans of We Don't Eat Our Classmates and Stegothesaurus.

"What's wrong?" a squat bluebird asks a sharp-toothed orange dinosaur near the start of Dominguez's gently comic bilingual picture book. "¡Tengo hambre!" the dino replies. "Oh, you're hungry," interprets the bird, before going on to list food options in English, including banana, fish, salad, bread and butter, ice cream, and pizza. Each time, the picky reptile repeats the suggestion in Spanish before declining ("¿Pescado? No, gracias"), quietly occupying itself in the background. When the increasingly frantic fowl finally tears off its chef hat in frustration, the dino reveals an avian dietary preference. Luckily, the quick-thinking bird hasn't yet exhausted snack possibilities, leading to a conclusion that sees both characters satisfied. Set against a plain white background, simply styled, expressive art supports the pair's polyglot exchange, making for a read that subtly grows reader vocabulary across both languages. Ages 2–4.
