Kirsten Richards grew up in a small village in the Berkshire Downs, in the South of England, where she spent most of her days running, jumping and climbing trees. A lot has changed since then – the mud has been replaced by paint, which she feels is a huge step towards professionalism.

  Kirsten has worked on an array of exciting projects including books with Scholastic USA, Oxford University Press, Hodder Children’s Books, Thomas Nelson and Top That! In 2008 The Littlest Pilgrim (Scholastic USA) spent 3 weeks on The New York Times bestsellers list.

You will be amazed to see how many dinosaurs actually surround us – most of which this father and child seem oblivious to! You have to wonder who is hunting whom…?

 

  • Such a fun story, written in Lucy Davey’s trademark faultless rhyme and rhythm, with lovely made-up dinosaur names and onomatopoiaec sounds for kids to join in with
  • A completely child-centred story that celebrates imaginative play
  • Kirsten Richards’ wonderfully fresh, luminous art is full of details for children to search for in the pages – don’t miss the side story with the cat and the dino toy!
