Never Ask a Dinosaur to Dinner - Author Gareth Edwards

Ever thought of brushing your teeth with a shark? Or drying off with a tiger? Or, worse, inviting a dinosaur to dinner? Well… think again!

Never Ask a Dinosaur to Dinner, written by Gareth Edwards and illustrated by Guy Parker-Rees (the artist behind Giraffes Can’t Dance), is a laugh-out-loud 32-page picture book full of brilliantly absurd ideas that guide children through the chaos of dinnertime, bathtime, and bedtime — all while teaching what not to do!

Perfect for fans of Oi Frog! and other rhyming favorites, this wildly funny cautionary tale uses witty verse and bold, vibrant illustrations to turn bedtime into an unforgettable adventure.

Why we — and schools — love this book:

• Transforms Bedtime into Fun Time – Helps children wind down with humor and imagination.
• Teaches Through Laughter – Uses silly scenarios to encourage good habits in a memorable way.
• Supports Literacy Skills – Rhyming structure and rich vocabulary boost early language development.
