This absolute rocker of a book is written by Giles Andreae and illustrated by Russell Ayto. The story wonderfully depicts a child's make-believe world - where he is a captain rescuing his friend from the evil dinosaurs who love sausages. The sense of adventure and action that the authors convey translates beautifully in the book by the animated write-up and vivid imagery in a large book. The book is an adventure roller-coaster from cover to cover. At 30 pages, the story is short enough to be a bed-time read, though it might supercharge your little ones' imagination. The language is fairly simple, but young readers would find words that they would need help pronouncing by themselves. In that respect, it is a good vocab builder as well. Lady Bee loves it - with the story engaging enough to draw kids back multiple times.
Age-appropriateness: 4.5+
