Come and join in the fun with Triceratops, Stegosaurus and friends as the dinosaurs stir up a dinosaurumpus.

Perfect for dinosaur fans everywhere, big and small.

Media Reviews
A wonderfully bright and noisy book * Book Trusted News *
A wonderfully rumbustious noisy poem * Northern Echo *
A book to brighten the dullest day ... intensely coloured, exuberant illustrations combine with a jazzy rhythmic text to produce a book that demands to be real aloud * The Scotsman *
Hard-to-resist rhythm * Childrens Bookseller *
The words process up, down, around and across the pages in perfect harmony with the dinosaurs' dancing and prancing. There is a tremendous sense of movement in the illustrations, which seem to gyrate before your eyes * School Librarian *
