The Little Dinosaur Book Launch



The Little Dinosaur

Today was the book launch of a new children's book about our little ornithopod dinosaurs.  The story is based on the partially articulated skeleton from the Otways that we call "Junior", In The Little Dinosaur, Catroina Hoy tells the story of a little injured dinosaur that dies and becomes a fossil. The fossil is later found and prepared for display at a musuem. The book is beautifully illustrated by Andrew Plant, who regular diggers will know as the artist responsible for our 2003 and 2004 dig T-shirt designs.
The Little Dinosaur is published by Working Title Press.
The book lauch was held at the Monash Science Centre, so we got an exhibition-in-progress look at Wayne and Corrie building life-sized dinosaurs.
