Tiny Dino (Hardcover)
Staff Reviews
Hummingbird proudly proclaims "I'm a Tiny Dino!". And the lovely truth is revealed when scales and feathers are compared, plus bones, toes, and more. A beautiful and well-crafted combination of story and science with Deborah Freedman's characteristically soft watercolor illustrations lightly inset with facts.
(Picture Book, ages 5+)

Deborah Freedman did not hatch from an egg and does not have hollow bones. She is not a dinosaur. But like T. rex and the hummingbird, she is a bipedal vertebrate. She is also the author and illustrator of many picture books for children, and she enjoys roaming the earth to learn new things and meet other readers. To learn more, visit deborahfreedman.net.
