Illustrated by
Quentin Blake.
Blake's familiar illustrations add humor to this improbable tale of a dinosaur family that foils an evil theme park developer's plans to destroy their mountain home and build a hi-tech plastic mountain. The inventive O'Sauruses and their friends use teamwork and a fair amount of Monsta-Gloo in their battle against Mr. Flatbrain and his robot crew. This is a suitable, if thin, story for the ecologically minded.
