Here Comes Destructosaurus!


Published by Chronicle Books LLC
Someone’s heading for a time-out in this clever picture book that “translates a ‘terrible twos’-style tantrum into a movie-monster rampage” (Kirkus Reviews).

Watch the unstoppable destructive force of a raging temper tantrum! Tremble at the enormous mess and disrespectful roaring! Despair as no amount of scolding can stem the heedless fury! Someone is heading for a time-out, Mister!

Anyone who has witnessed (or been) a toddler in the throes of a full-blown fit will delight in this clever book’s movie-monster rampage, and may just come away from it with a bit more sympathy for both toddler and caregiver.

“Dinosaurs are pretty much the ideal picture-book stand-in for a toddler’s rampaging id. . . . Reynolds makes the connection explicitly and hilariously.” —The Wall Street Journal

“This over-the-top tale that pushes the limits of the narrator’s authority will delight readers.” —School Library Journal

“Very funny.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
