Illustrated by Damien Barlow

T. rex is on the building site.
How will he smash this wall?
He needs someone to swing their tail . . .
just like a wrecking ball!

Through magical sliding transformations, see a T. rex become a digger, a Diplodocus become a crane, an Ankylosaurus become a wrecking ball, and a Triceratops become a bulldozer. Using their dino skills on the building site, watch them SMASH, SHIFT, MIX, and LIFT to build together. This mash-up book is perfect for fans of dinosaurs and all things construction!
Stacie lives in a small apartment in London surrounded by a rainbow of children’s books. She loves creating new books for young children and gives books to everyone she meets. When she is not working, she can be found at the theater watching a musical or taking a walk in the woods dreaming of the Scottish Highlands.
