Bumposaurus ISBN: 9780711219557
McKinlay, Penny and Teckentrup, Britta
Published by Frances Lincoln, 2003
This one is for little boy dinosaur-lovers who don't like wearing their glasses! Bumposaurus (Bumpy for short) is very short-sighted - so short-sighted that he can't find his way out of his egg without help from mum. This leads to lots of zany adventures, culminating in an encounter with a Tyrannosaurus Rex. When grandma comes to visit, Bumpy tries on her glasses, and suddenly, he can see - and what he sees are smiling faces. This is a super story, full of fun and adventure and antics, and the illustrations are first-rate - lots of bright colour with cuddly, stripy and spotted, big-eyed dinosaurs. There is even a cautionary element: little short-sighted dinosaurs need their glasses so they won't take a nap in a big dinosaur's nest!
