Tiny Dino

Description

Did you know dinosaurs still roam the earth? A small but mighty bird declares it is a dinosaur! But no one believes that dinosaurs still exist. How can it be a dinosaur when it is so little? Dinosaurs didn't have feathers . . . or did they? This tiny dino is here to explain to its animal friends that birds are, in fact, dinosaurs, and all creatures are connected to one big animal family. With a playful ensemble of animal characters and dynamic bursts of dialogue, celebrated author and illustrator Deborah Freedman has created a spirited and informative picture book for dinosaur lovers of all ages.

Deborah Freedman did not hatch from an egg and does not have hollow bones. She is not a dinosaur. But like T. rex and the hummingbird, she is a bipedal vertebrate. She is also the author and illustrator of many picture books for children, and she enjoys roaming the earth to learn new things and meet other readers. To learn more, visit deborahfreedman.net.
