About this title

About the Author:

Paul Stickland is the author, illustrator and paper engineer behind many bestselling children's books, renowned for his daft dinosaurs and tremendous trucks. Titles such as Dinosaur Roar! (written by Henrietta Stickland), Ten Terrible Dinosaurs, Swamp Stomp, A Number of Dinosaurs, Truck Jam, Big Dig, The Christmas Bear, One Bear One Dog and many more. Paul has spent 20 years working with children of all ages and abilities in schools, libraries and festivals all over the UK and abroad, giving inspiring talks, drawing and pop up book workshops, engaging and empowering children with his energy and enthusiasm. He lives in a world of colourful characters and creatures, from diggers to dinosaurs, bears to bugs and he loves to share this with children through the medium of children's books and pop up paper. Inspired by his artist and illustrator grandfather, Geoffrey Squire, and his very creative parents, Paul has always loved working with children. He lives in Sherborne, Dorset, with his bookseller and musician wife, Helen, their daughter Tabitha and a selection of Paul's five creative and musical sons.

From Kirkus Reviews:

They're going to discover Barney soon enough, if they haven't already, so parents may want to head them off at the pass with this cast of dinosaurs who are as diverse and rife with character as Barney is, well, purple. These dinosaurs, as colorfully and cleverly conceived by the Sticklands (The Christmas Bear, 1993), are huge but meek, tiny but fierce, clean but awfully prim, slovenly but affectionate. A ``sweet'' dinosaur tries to coyly ``hide'' behind a tree thinner than its arm; a ``fat'' dinosaur lounges with a palm tree between its fingers, about to chew it as if it were a blade of grass; in a primordial dinner scene, herbivores and carnivores alike look on in bemused astonishment as one strange creature, passing up both the foliage and the bones that are politely being consumed all around, feasts on the ``h'' in ``scrunch!'' Crafty details like these transform what might otherwise be just another look at the oldest cast of characters in children's literature into a visual extravaganza.
