Brand new hilarious junior fiction series from the creators of the bestselling Dinosaur Rescue

Mewburn and Bixley have teamed up to create a revolting funny series for younger readers, written with the 5- to 7-year-old dinosaur fan in mind – prequels to the Dinosaur Rescue books.

In Book 1, young Arg is sitting in his cave, hungry and bored. Mum arrives back with some dinosaur eggs, and they discover to their delight that some have baby dinosaurs inside – a particular delicacy.

 

However, when one hatches, Arg hides it from his mother – with disgusting consequences. (Fart and vomit alert!) Suffice to say, the newly hatched Krrk-Krrk survives … and goes on to appear in the Dinosaur Rescue books as Arg’s trusty sidekick!

 

 

• From award-winning author and illustrator
• Younger siblings of Dinosaur Rescue fans will be thrilled to have their very own series
• Grossness abounds – not for the faint-hearted – but kids (especially boys) will love it!
• Hilariously illustrated by Bixley, who already knows these characters well

 

Coming in July!

Book 2 - The Lava Melt Shake    

 

 

Kyle Mewburn has had over 40 children’s books published in nine countries. His work has won numerous awards, including the NZ Post Children’s Book of the Year for Old Hu-Hu.

 

His other titles include Kiss! Kiss! Yuck! Yuck! (2008 NZ Post Book Awards Best Picture Book and Children’s Choice), Melu (2013 NZ Post Book Awards Children’s Choice), as well as the popular series collaborations with Donovan Bixley, Dinosaur Rescue and Dragon Knight.

Donovan Bixley is a talented artist with a range of styles. His work brings another dimension to Mewburn’s text, often adding hilarious bits of his own to enhance the storyline.

 

Donovan is the only artist to have ever had three books simultaneously shortlisted for the NZ Children’s Book Awards (in 2015), with Scholastic titles Dragon Knight: Fire!, Little Red Riding Hood … Not Quite, and his debut comic book/novel as author and illustrator Monkey Boy, which took out the top prize for junior fiction.
