Nuts About Dinosaurs by Andrew Woolnough is a very enjoyable and funny children’s picture book aimed at youngsters who are, or could be, fascinated by dinosaurs. The story starts by introducing five squirrels, Bea, Red, Mo, Dubs, and Rocky, who will play a big role in the adventure of a squirrel's lifetime. The story starts with the five squirrels finding a fossilised dinosaur footprint in the forest. They have always been fascinated by dinosaurs, and now they really want to know everything about them. Like how old, how big were they, and did they ever snore? There is only one way to know for sure – they have to build a time machine and travel back to the era of the dinosaurs themselves. However, it has to be a time machine powered by nuts because that’s the only kind of fuel squirrels have access to. So, the mad dash to collect the nuts starts. Will they be able to pull off this fantastic plan, travel back in time, and see the dinosaurs? You have to read the book to find out.

I don’t remember when I last enjoyed reading a children’s storybook this much. It has everything going for it: lovely, rhymed poems, exquisite coloured pictures by Justin Runfola, an imaginative and entertaining plot, and, of course, the dinosaurs waiting for them back in time. But it’s not safe facing the ferocious T. Rex, chasing after them, or being caught between the T. Rex and the Titanosaur as they engage in battle, so they decide to leave while they can. The story is fast-moving, funny, and should appeal to any young child with a vivid imagination who craves adventure and magic. The book ends with an educational page covering five of the best-known dinosaurs, with a small paragraph describing what we know about them. I very highly recommend Nuts About Dinosaurs by Andrew Woolnough to young readers and their parents.
