Beskrivning
A mama hen demands respect for herself and her chicks—after all, they used to be dinosaurs! From acclaimed author Casey Lyall and award-winning artist Laurie Keller, this is a laugh-out-loud picture book about farmyards, self-esteem, and evolution for fans of Interrupting Chicken and Are You a Cheeseburger?Did you know that chickens are descendants of dinosaurs? A soon-to-be mother hen just found out, and now she is reexamining her entire life. She used to be a dinosaur, a prehistoric queen with a mighty roar! Now she spends her days on a farm, waiting for her eggs to hatch. It’s downright fowl! At least, it is until she decides to summon her own inner dinosaur.This award-winning author and artist pair is a comedic dream team! A Spoonful of Frogs author Casey Lyall’s read-aloud text is rhythmic and sassy. And Geisel Award winner Laurie Keller brings her signature zany sense of humor and irresistible energy to the expressive chicken and her dinosaur dreams. The result is a story time pleaser that gets sillier with every page turn.A very funny, inventive picture book with themes of self-love and evolutionary science, I Used to Be a Dinosaur is a perfect choice for those who love Click, Clack, Moo and Mother Bruce.

Recensioner i media

“A riotous exploration of avian evolution. . . . With sparse text and high-energy illustrations, this is an ideal read-loud. . . . A hilarious, surprisingly informative standout.” — School Library Journal (starred review)“Rousing. . . . Legacy is nothing to cluck at for the protagonist of this brassy story about unflappable confidence—no matter how many millennia are perched on the family tree.” — Publishers Weekly"A solid primer on evolution doubling as a silly story of the ultimate identity crisis." — Kirkus
