Play hide and seek with a boy, his animal friends and a dinosaur that's surprisingly hard to spot in the city. The brilliantly interactive follow-up to international bestselling picture book, Have You Seen Elephant?

Best friends boy, dog, and elephant are VERY good at hide-and-seek. There's a missing dinosaur in the city--who better to spot this elusive giant? They search the skate park, the museum, the subway . . .

No one in the city can spot the dinosaur, not even this expert hide-and-seek team. But delighted readers will be pointing "There it is!" from the first page.

This absurd, laugh-out-loud picture book is richly illustrated with David Barrow's trademark beautiful use of light and color and dramatic cityscapes--a guaranteed hit with dinosaur-loving toddlers.

With clues, surprises, and humor, this game-inside-a-book celebrates imaginative play and is perfect for sharing with children who will love being better at finding the dinosaur than their adult reader.

David Barrow received the Sebastian Walker award for most promising children's illustrator from the Cambridge School of Art. His first book Have You Seen Elephant? was shortlisted for the Waterstones Prize and is a bestseller around the world.

Praise for Have You Seen Dinosaur?
"Beautiful! Adults will love it too, kids will love it the most."--BBC Radio, UK
"What a delight this book is!"--starred, Youth Services Book Review
"Barrow's artwork is dreamy, painterly and stunning as well as being perfect for young readers."--BookTrust UK
"It reminds me a lot of Steve Light's Have You Seen MY Dragon? albeit with more dinos and less fire breathers. The two books together could make for a great pairing."--Betsy Bird, A Fuse #8 Production
"Delicious fun for observant young readers."--Books for Keeps, UK
"The joy lies in the interplay between the dead-pan words on the page, the images and the reader's engagement with the search."--Just Imagine

David Barrow

David has been a shelf-stacker, a library assistant, a call-centre worker, a civil servant and a printer, so obviously it was only a matter of time before he tried his hand at writing and illustrating children's books.

He joined the world-renowned Children's Book Illustration MA at Anglia Ruskin CSA. It turns out he actually found it a lot harder than all of the above, but ultimately a lot more rewarding.

Whilst on the course, David created his first picture book, Have you seen Elephant? which was published in 2015. He won the Sebastian Walker award for new talent in children's book illustration at his degree show and was shortlisted for the Waterstones Children's Book Prize.

David's next book Fergus Barnaby Goes On Holiday was released in June 2017 and he is now in the process of developing more picture books. He lives in Kettering with his toughest critics: partner Jo, son Teddy and cat Sofia.
