We went to find a T. rex . . . and it was NOWHERE to be found.

It wasn't hiding in the ferns. Or swimming in the river. And it DEFINITELY wasn't flying high in the sky.

Everywhere we looked, we found other dinosaurs instead. There was a towering triceratops with its pointy beak and fancy grills. A super huge stegosaurus that was having an afternoon snooze. And a scary spinosaurus that we had to swim past VERY carefully as it ate a pile of fish for lunch. But absolutely NO sign of a T. rex.

Where could such a HUGE great dinosaur be hiding?

Meet some of the incredible and unbelievably large dinosaurs in this laugh-out-loud picture book story that features hilarious, fascinating and slightly bizarre facts throughout. Perfect for fans of We're Going on a Bear Hunt.

About the Author

Catherine Cawthorne (Author)

Catherine Cawthorne always wanted to be an author like Jo March from Little Women, or Anne Shirley from Anne of Green Gables. But then she also wanted to be a toothpaste tester and to own a cafe called Hot Plate selling hot Ribena and Wispas. She spent most of her childhood either up a tree, reading, or forming secret societies in her best friend's shed. There is still nothing she likes more than getting totally and utterly engrossed in a story. Catherine now lives in Guildford with her husband and three children.

Aysha Awwad (Illustrator)

Aysha Awwad is an illustrator and designer from Hertfordshire. She studied graphic design at University of the Arts London and now freelances from her studio with her trusty feline assistant, Olive, by her side. Her debut picture book Where Has All The Cake Gone? was shortlisted for the FCBG Children's Book Award 2023, while her second, Whose Dog Is This?, was shortlisted for the Waterstones Children's Book Prize 2024.
