This book was about different dinosaur trucks and how they lived during prehistoric times. Each truck is a version of a dinosaur and each are different and like to do different things. In the end the lava explosion wipes out most of the dinotrux population but some get away and in the end you see their fossils on display and you see modern time trucks digging them up. This book is so fun! I loved it! I thought it was super silly and awesome. The illustrations were catchy and had witty little comments that make it fun for the adult. There are little things in the book that children won't recognize which is fun because you can point them out and enjoy them together.
Chris Gall has a lot of fun with the primal place of machines in the lives of small children in his brilliant book “Dinotrux.” In ripe-to-the-point-of-bursting illustrations... Gall gives us the creation legend of the truck, our modern vehicles being descendants of the combustion-driven monsters that once roamed free. AwardsNotable Lists
Millions of years ago, the prehistoric ancestors of today's trucks, such as garbageadon, dozeratops, and craneosaurus, roamed the Earth until they rusted out and became extinct. No library descriptions found. |
