It a brilliant, sunshiny day and Mum has asked Albie to help with the gardening. Carelessly, he flings the seeds over the ground without looking at the packets. Uh oh!
The next morning his house is surrounded by a thick jungle and there’s a huge hole outside that looks just like an animal’s footprint! With dinosaurs a-plenty and giant jellybean tree, Albie discovers that gardening has never been so much fun!

This action-packed adventure will delight any dinosaur lover and encourage even the most reluctant gardeners to get stuck in!
Popular in schools across the UK, How to Grow a Dinosaur has sparked the imagination of a generation and is still a favourite amongst children aged three to ten.

“A pre-school crowd-pleaser with dinosaur battle to boot”
“Each page is chock-full of action-packed pictures in this fun adventure.”
“The choice of a back garden for developing children’s sense of curiosity was just wonderful, as was the theme of “planting”... The clear and colourful illustrations by Ed Eaves hit every spot for a child’s imagination, and by the end of the story, one of my little boys asked: “Can we plant seeds like Albie did?” ”
“A wonderful adventure in brilliant colour. The illustrations by Edward Eaves are really eye-catching and complement the excitement of the story excellently. A worthy successor to Supermarket Zoo.”
