When the actual Gigantosaurus does show up, Bonehead is nearly killed and the other dinos don't seem all too concerned about him based on his supposed lies. One of the dinosaurs decides to be look out while they are playing and starts testing the others by yelling they see the Gigantosaurus every other minute only to say they were kidding. rex relied on strength and a powerful bite in a strike that crushed the bones of the hadrosaurs and ceratopsians it preyed on.The included little baby Ankylosaurus plush toy measures approx 10cm tall at it longest length and approx 16cm long from it's outstretched hands to the end of it's tail and so it's not a very big plush toy but it is cute and also resembles the star of the book (Bonehead) very well.

Having a small boy (our very own Gruffalo’s Child), my husband and I can confidently recite the book from cover to cover (as can our son, an avid reader who has already loved several copies to death). This high-interest series explores the lives of world-famous dinosaurs, from diets to defenses, and examines what drove these great beasts to extinction. It was therefore a wonderful surprise to come across something as good as The Gruffalo but with Dinosaurs: Gigantosaurus by Jonny Duddle (what a fabulous name for a children’s author!
