About this item
A mom indulges her son's fantasy play while gently steering him toward bedtime in a raucous ode to imagination."Dinnertime!" calls Mommy. Well, dinosaurs don't have dinnertimes! They eat whatever they like (gobble, crunch!) , make a dreadful mess, and hate to take baths and wear pajamas (where would their tails go?) . Dinosaurs are much too big to play nicely - they rampage and stomp around and knock things down! But maybe they'd listen to a bedtime story, if it's ROARY. . . . With exuberant illustrations merging bedtime routines with a little boy's fantasy world - and showing Mom's role in both - this ode to dinosaurs, wild imaginations, and cleverly won bedtime snuggles is sure to get roars of approval from kids and parents alike.
About the Author
I've always loved writing stories - funny ones especially. I try to make my books as exciting as possible because I know how much I enjoyed the books I read when I was small. I am very conscious that it's now my turn to introduce children to the joys of reading, and to create a book habit that will last a lifetime.That doesn't mean I want to make things easy, because I think easy is boring - especially for kids. I want my young readers to be thrilled and entertained - but also challenged and stretched.Each time I start a story - even if it's part of a series about the same character, such as my three Mungo adventures - I want it to be completely different from anything I've written before. Now I've written a few, though, I do see the same themes popping up: friendship is one, and adventure another.One of the great delights of writing children's books is that you get to work with illustrators. (People who only write for grown-ups must be green with envy!) They are all amazingly talented and inspiring. It is a huge thrill to open your own book for the first time and see it brought to such stunning life by their dazzling imaginations.But don't take my word for it - check out my books!You can find out more about me and my work at www.timothyknapman.com.
