Description

What if dinosaurs had hair Why, if dinosaurs had hair, then they must have had parents who brushed it too hard. And siblings who pulled it. But that's just the beginning. Hair as extravagently fabulous as theirs must've been shown off. Blow-dried and thrown dramatically over a dinosaur shoulder. Braided and strutted by the most popular watering hole. It had to have been stylized to absolute perfection . . . or, at least, better than the dinosaur next to them. Because where there's hair, there's always going to be hair gossip. And, of course, hair drama. Before they knew it, it had to have been dinosaur versus dinosaur in an ever-growing escalation of Mesozoic hair wars. An uproarious picture book that imagines a world in which dinosaurs had hair that ends with a big bang . . . or bangs.

Reviews
