Martin Waddell has written many books for children of all ages He also writes under the pen-name of Catherine Sefton. He has won a number of awards including the Smarties Prize twice, The Kurt Maschler Award and was a runner-up for the Guardian Children’s Fiction Prize. He now lives by the sea in Northern Ireland with his wife, three sons and their dog, Bessie.
PreSchool-Grade 2—When a ravenous T. rex shows up in Hal's backyard and threatens to eat him, the boy stands up to the beast. He not only refuses to be the dinosaur's snack but also denies the roaring beast's demands to devour his family and dog. The enraged dinosaur gives chase but the preternaturally cool boy eludes and then captures his pursuer. Forced to give in, the dinosaur tearfully promises to repair the damage he has caused and enjoys a spaghetti dinner to satisfy his hunger. Using multiple perspectives and cartoon panels on some pages, the sketchy, childlike illustrations in greens and browns perfectly match the text and make the theme of a brave child overcoming a giant obstacle resonate even more strongly. The text is perfect for reading to a group, one-on-one sharing, or storytelling. Kids who are hungry for dinosaur books will get a super treat with this title.—Marge Loch-Wouters, La Crosse Public Library, WI END
