(2) PS The little red dynamo from Dinosaur vs. Bedtime is back. Shea sticks to the first book's tried-and-true pattern: Dinosaur loudly triumphs over a variety of tasks ("Dinosaur versus...making lemonade! Roar! Roar! Mix! Squeeze! Roar!") until, inevitably, he bows to the call of nature. Bold design elements--heavy outline, lots of color, playful placement of type, etc.--echo the character's T. rex-sized personality.
