Refe and Susan Tuma take the wonder of toys coming to life and having their own adventures to a school setting sure to capture the imagination of kids everywhere.
Every November, writer and social media master Refe Tuma and his wife, Susan, work into the night to bring their four children scenes from the secret lives of their toys--specifically the nighttime antics of their plastic dinosaurs. But in the follow-up to the hit What the Dinosaurs Did Last Night, these scampish dinosaurs make the trip to school, hidden in a child's backpack. Each scene is photographed in meticulous detail, letting viewers joyfully suspend disbelief and think to themselves--just LOOK at what these diminutive dinos did at school!Praise for What the Dinosaurs Did at School: "The Tumas' neon photographs of toy dinos draped in spaghetti, bouncing on soccer balls and devouring library books are mini-masterpieces of creativity."--USA Today
"Amusing and fun, students who love dinosaurs will devour this book."--School Library Journal
"The compositions are excellent, the props adorable... and the hyperbolic narration sustains a fever pitch"--Publishers Weekly
"The husband-and-wife team of "Dinovember" fame pose their plastic dinosaurs with props and use perspective masterfully to stage their scenes.... Better add plastic dinosaurs to the shopping list-kids will want in on the fun."
--Kirkus Reviews
Refe and Susan Tuma live in Kansas City with their four children and a herd of plastic dinosaurs. The Tumas began cataloguing their dinosaurs' antics in 2012, igniting the imaginations of hundreds of thousands of children - young and old - across the world.
