Packed with fun facts and accessible information, this first introduction to the king of the dinosaurs is perfect for curious toddlers.

David Semple was born in the North East of England in the early 70's. After studying illustration he enjoyed a stint working in the TV & Film industry in London painting latex puppets & prosthetics! Since then a pencil has never been far from his hand and he has designed and illustrated characters for a wide range of clients across the globe. He lives in York with his designer wife Kate, their three children, and Olive the dog.
