Play hide and seek with a boy, his animal friends and a dinosaur that’s surprisingly hard to spot in the city. The brilliantly interactive follow-up to international bestselling picture book, Have You Seen Elephant? Best friends boy, dog, and elephant are VERY good at hide-and-seek. There’s a missing dinosaur in the city–who better to spot this elusive giant? They search the skate park, the museum, the subway . . . No one in the city can spot the dinosaur, not even this expert hide-and-seek team. But delighted readers will be pointing “There it is!” from the first page.This absurd, laugh-out-loud picture book is richly illustrated with David Barrow’s trademark beautiful use of light and color and dramatic cityscapes–a guaranteed hit with dinosaur-loving toddlers. With clues, surprises, and humor, this game-inside-a-book celebrates imaginative play and is perfect for sharing with children who will love being better at finding the dinosaur than their adult reader.David Barrow received the Sebastian Walker award for most promising children’s illustrator from the Cambridge School of Art. His first book Have You Seen Elephant? was shortlisted for the Waterstones Prize and is a bestseller around the world.Praise for Have You Seen Dinosaur?”What a delight this book is!”–starred, Youth Services Book Review “It reminds me a lot of Steve Light’s Have You Seen MY Dragon? albeit with more dinos and less fire breathers. The two books together could make for a great pairing.”–Betsy Bird, A Fuse #8 Production
David Barrow is Children’s Book author and illustrator and a graduate of the Children’s Book Illustration MA at Anglia Ruskin Cambridge School of Art. Whilst on the course, David created his first picture book, Have you seen Elephant? He won the Sebastian Walker award for new talent in Children’s Book illustration at his Masters show and was shortlisted for the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize. Since then he has produced several Picture Books for numerous publishers, including the Kate Greenaway nominated Troll Stroll and Fergus Barnaby Goes On Holiday. Before becoming an author/illustrator David tried a variety of occupations including a brief and largely unsuccessful career as a “Rock Star” (although he still harbours the belief that he will headline Madison Square Garden one day). Also, he was almost in The Fall. Long story… David now lives in the wilds of Northamptonshire in England with his wife Jo and son Teddy.
