Description
Dinosaurs have taken over the Earth! They're stomping and stamping all over the place. Young readers will love finding out why in this classic environmental tale from best-selling author/illustrator Michael Foreman. A fable for our time, and as relevant today as it was when it was first published in 1972.Tags

A 1001 CBYMRBYGU.
Mankind has ruined the earth and has now abandoned the planet. After man is gone, the dinosaurs return, but are dismayed to discover the rubbish covering the earth. The dinosaurs start to clean up. Then man comes back to earth and finds it a beautiful place.
I'd never have expected to find this preachy little book among the 1001 CBYMRBYGUs.
