Dinosaur picture book for children age 2-6yrs, lots of mixing, cooking, painting and eating!

From award-winning author and illustrator team, Janeen Brian and Ann James, comes this gorgeous new rhyming picture book about our favourite little dinosaur (I'm a Dirty Dinosaur), who is now hungry for cake. Ann James has had fun painting with flour, cocoa, icing and 100s and 1000s with adorable results that will inspire lots of rumbling tummies and cake making!

Bright simple illustrations, card pages and rounded corners make this a perfect book for the very young.

Shake, stir, mix, bake . . . . This little dinosaur just loves cake!
