Play with your Food
"Though we both enjoyed this story, what really won us over were the illustrations. They're fabulous, and are perfect for young children who enjoy looking through picture books. This book is the whole package—it's a great picture book, and fun story to read."—Mundie Kids
Prehistoric life was an eat or be eaten world. When a small gliding lizard (a Coelurosauravus) finds himself on the menu, he tries to convince the much larger predator (a Dimetrodon) to play with his food.
Through vivid and entertaining artwork laced with hidden animals and humor Play with your Food turns the survival of the fittest into the survival of the funnest.
