Next Door There is a Dinosaur
There are hidden clues everywhere in this riotous, pacy picture book about a little boy’s suspicion that his sweet, elderly neighbour is secretly keeping an array of dinosaurs in her house.
The boy tries to alert his parents to the presence of claws, jaws and prehistoric roars coming from next door, but they remain blithely unconcerned. Mrs Shaw from Number 84 does NOT have any dinosaurs, of that they’re sure . . .
Saskia Gwinn has written 20 children’s books and worked in children’s publishing for nearly 20 years. She lives in Hertfordshire with her two boys who hope dinosaurs will one day revisit Earth.
Leanne Coelho grew up in South Africa and Portugal, is a self-taught illustrator, and says she now finds all the adventure she needs in a pencil, paper and the view from outside her window. She now lives in Hertfordshire with her wife and her cat, Pawtia.
