Publisher Description
A tiny dinosaur is born to a family of rather huge dinosaurs and everyone is mystified about why it is so different. As the littlest dinosaur grows, it feels left out and at odds with the world of its huge family, until one day its very size is the thing that rescues them all.
A charming tale featuring every toddler's favourite - dinosaurs - with a sweetly told message about being happy being yourself.
Brilliantly read by Claire Skinner. Please note that audio is not supported by all devices, please consult your user manual for confirmation.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The title character of this predictable story seems destined for a life on the sidelines if one of his neighbors doesn't accidentally step on him first. After all, "he's no bigger than a dinosaur's toe," as his father puts it. But when the rest of the dinosaur herd gets trapped in the mud, the undersize hero enlists the help of another lonely outsider a huge blue "long neck" he has glimpsed in the distance and saves the day. The prolific author/artist's scenes showing the exchanges between the enormous and the tiny dinosaurs have an R.O. Blechman like poignancy, and the mud incident stirs up some sense of urgency. But for the most part, the story is on autopilot as it moves toward the familiar wrap-up ("you may be the size of a bug, but you're as brave as a dinosaur one hundred times your size"). The prehistoric landscape is perfunctory, while the reptilian cast is blandly genial and generic. Ages 4 8.
