Liz is sure that her next-door neighbour has a secret. He's got a very long neck, clumpy feet and a strange taste for green leaves... he's a dinosaur! Unfortunately, she's not the only one who's noticed. When Mr Wilson is taken away by scientists, Liz realises that everyone is free to live the life they wish and she must help save her friend.
A delightful book perfect for children aged 3+
A beautiful story about acceptance and letting people live the life they want

Young children will love being in on the secret that Mr Wilson is a dinosaur!
"The Dinosaur Next Door brilliantly combines the joys of dinosaurs and cake... I promise you'll be rooting for Mr Wilson" - The Guardian
