I’m a Hungry Dinosaur

By Janeen Brian

From award-winning author and illustrator team, Janeen Brian and Ann James, comes this gorgeous new rhyming picture book about our favorite little dinosaur (I’m a Dirty Dinosaur), who is now hungry for cake. Ann James had great fun painting with flour, cocoa, icing and sprinkles with adorable results that will inspire lots of rumbling tummies and cake making! Shake, stir, mix, bake . . . . This little dinosaur just loves cake! Bright simple illustrations, card pages and rounded corners make this a perfect book for the very young.
