British author, Julia Donaldson, is hugely famous for her clever rhyming tales. (Just who hasn’t heard of The Gruffalo, or Monkey Puzzle)?! Her books are very popular in our house — I’m a sucker for rhyming books — and my boys love them too!

One of our favorites is the less-known Tyrannosaurus Drip, because Donaldson collaborates with award-winning artist, David Roberts, and the illustrations are very cool. Robert’s linear style, cooky characters, and distinct design make Tyrannosaurus Drip a beautiful-looking book.

This clever tale about a peaceful duckbill dinosaur’s egg that accidentally ends up in a tyrannosaurus nest, is — like all her other books — fun to read aloud, with it’s rhyming poetic verses and repetitive refrains.

And what little boy doesn’t like a story about dinosaurs?
