A dinosaur, a crayon, and room to create

A child chooses to ignore the warnings against letting a dinosaur scribble, opening the door to colorful, unexpected messes. The picture-book premise turns a familiar creative activity into a playful clash between caution and imagination, with the dinosaur’s enthusiastic mark-making at the center. Its humor and celebration of creativity make scribbling itself the focus, while the illustrations are described as bright and lively. The book is positioned as a read-aloud for young children and families.

  • Young children who enjoy humorous picture books about dinosaurs
  • Families and educators seeking a read-aloud centered on art and imagination

Book overview

Celebrate the little artist in your life this Christmas with this hilarious picture book from bestselling author Diane Alber that asks the question: You NEVER let a Unicorn Scribble...but what about DINOSAURS?

Even if everyone says "never let a dinosaur scribble," one little boy is determined to let his dinosaur scribble to his scaly, dinosaur-y heart's content. But dinosaurs aren't just fantastic pets and distantly related to chickens...give them a crayon, and who KNOWS what colorful, magical messes will happen. With bright illustrations that jump off the page and hilarious text, parents, educators, and children ages 4-10 will love this laugh-out-loud story that celebrates the power of creativity.

This dino-tastic picture book is the perfect read-aloud or gift opportunity for birthdays, bedtime, or any occasion!

I recently got a pet dinosaur. I know it's hard to believe, but it's true. And everyone keeps telling me
