David Roberts on Tyrannosaurus Drip

Tyrannosaurus Drip by Julia Donaldson, illustrated by David Roberts

In a prehistoric river in a prehistoric swamp,
Lived a herd of duckbill dinosaurs who liked to stand and chomp . . .

The duckbill dinosaurs live across the river from the T-Rexs. The duckbills are peaceful plant-eaters. The Ts are scary meat-eaters. When a duckbill hatches in the T's nest, both the new baby and the T-Rex family try very hard to get along. But the little dinosaur, nicknamed Drip by his new family, soon proves he's not such a drip after all—in fact, he's a real hero!

Dinosaur enthusiasts of all ages will cheer for Drip in this timeless story about little versus big, by the author of the beloved and best-selling picture book The Gruffalo.

JULIA DONALDSON is the author of over fifty books for children, including The Gruffalo, which has sold over a million copies and won the Smarties prize, one of the UK's top children's book awards. She lives in Glasgow, Scotland.

DAVID ROBERTS won the 2006 Nestlé Children's Book Prize Gold Award for his illustrations in Mouse Noses on Toast. He gets inspiration for his drawings simply by looking out the window and observing life, nature, and the world. He lives in Central London.

Watch David with his cat, who is also a bit on the prehistoric side.
