A Jurassic-themed, rhyming picture book for children starting school!

All through the land, little dinos were stirring.

They opened their eyes and their brains started whirring.

The BIG day is here, they thought from their beds -

some leapt with excitement, some trembled with dread . . .

Jewel the dinosaur is very nervous about her first day of school. There are so many new dinos to meet, the dining hall is noisy and her new classroom is so big!

But as the day goes on, and Jewel settles into her new class and makes new friends, she realises that school isn't that scary after all.

With adorable illustrations by Loretta Schauer and rhyming, reassuring text, this fun starting-school picture book will encourage young readers to explore their own feelings or nerves around this big milestone so they can have a roar-some first day too!

Reviews

A treacherous journey and quest for survival - one to pick up, time and time again

—— The Guardian

Beautifully evoking the Berkshire countryside in poetic language, it is an exciting, moving and powerful novel.

—— Book Trust

Beautifully written with some of the best characterisation you'll come across in children's literature, it tells the story of a group of rabbits and their will to survive despite human attempts to do otherwise. Full of adventure, humour, excitement and sadness it will enthral as much now as it did when it was first published

—— LoveReading4Kids

Absolutely stunning. A very sweet story with a touch of dark humour too. Wonderful. A fantastic book

—— Chris Haughton, author of 'A Bit Lost'

A beautifully illustrated fable

I love it. A book to buy and treasure, for yourself or others.

—— Marion Deuchars, author of 'Let's Make Some Great Art' and 'Colour'

It's touching, lovely to look at, beautifully conceived and designed. Good for children, and busy grown-ups too

—— David Gentleman, author of 'London, You're Beautiful'

...exceptionally beautiful... A modern fable, with a timeless message to appreciate what we have before it is too late.
