Spoiler Free Review of

The story of Gigantosaurus

Gigantosaurus, Don’t Cave in

Gigantosaurus, The Lost Egg by Jonny Duddle


Thank you to @penguinrandomhouse for the copies of this book in exchange for review. My 7 year old self was SO incredibly excited to see Dinosaur book mail arrive. I was totally that kid who was obsessed with dinosaurs throughout early elementary school. Even as an adult, I often re-watch the Jurassic Park/World movies, so I guess some things never truly leave you. I got lots of Little Foot vibes while reading these, which is really just me aging myself about a dinosaur cartoon movie from way back when I was small.

These books are the introduction to the characters you’ll find on the tv show Gigantosaurus, found on the Disney Jr. channel. In these books you meet four best friends, all baby dinosaurs, all incredibly cute and all about going on adventures. Mazu, Bill, Tiny and Rocky are obsessed with finding out everything they can about Gigantosaurus, while staying as far away from his mouth as possible. While each character has their strengths, they also have their weaknesses, amd these four friends help each other in all ways. It’s an adorable lesson on how differences between us don’t mean we can’t all work together for the greater good.

These are some cute stories that brought back a lot of great memories from when I was a kid. I highly recommend these books weather you watch the tv show or not because every kid can fall in love with dinosaurs and adventures. I give these books 4 stars ⭐️

When a gorgeous Christmas book shows up in your mailbox, you share it despite the fact that it’s still only August.

Here is the character sheet for our mighty gal Helga. Arooo!

Some character design work Helga Makes a Name for Herself. This pre production phase for picture books sometimes needs to be wrapped up so fast I don’t even get to clean up or even fix drawings. Which makes it a lot more fun and most definitely challenging!

Ending the year with this snowy oldie from 2017. ❄️ 2019 has been very challenging and it continues to be so. I’m SO grateful for my hubby for all the support, and our little peanut and the joy he brings. Sending some cozy snow flakey love to my Turks in Izmir who had a long night. Love you family!❄️
