That Dinosaur Has Talent!

Description

Eliza Jane lives in a town where dinosaurs and humans live happily side-by-side - raptors run restaurants, Troodons are teachers and you can even pay a visit to see a dinosaur dentist. Every dinosaur has a job to do, apart from one shy dino called Parry who always feels like he's getting in the way. Eliza Jane is determined to help him find his groove but everything poor Parry tries seems to end in disaster. Then, one night, Eliza Jane discovers that Parry has a very special hidden talent and a star is born ... From the best-selling author and illustrator team behind The Dinosaur Department Store, this fun, charming picture book about self-confidence and the power of friendship will appeal to dino-loving children everywhere.
