I’m Not Scary . . . I’m Just a Dinosaur

I’m Not Scary . . . I’m Just a Dinosauris a delightful book that challenges the idea that dinosaurs were just big, scary monsters by gently exploring the amazing ways these creatures adapted to survive. From Diplodocus to T. Rex, discover how each dinosaur’s unique features helped them thrive!

The simple, easy-to-follow text by Ben Lerwill highlights the ＂scary＂ features of each dinosaur, then--after a pause--reveals why they weren’t really scary at all. In fact, these very ＂scary＂ traits are what made each dinosaur special! This book shows how each part of their bodies was designed by nature to help them stay fit and strong. With hilarious and playful illustrations from Erica Salcedo, readers will love the cast of comical dinosaurs throughout.

Filled with fun and facts, I’m Not Scary . . . I’m Just a Dinosaur carries an important message about not judging by appearances.

This unique approach to a nonfiction picture book on dinosaurs is perfect for young (and older!) dinosaur fans to enjoy and read aloud over and over again.
