There's a Dinosaur on the 13th Floor By Wade Bradford, Kevin Hawkes (Illustrator) Cover Image

There's a Dinosaur on the 13th Floor (Hardcover)

By Wade Bradford, Kevin Hawkes (Illustrator)
$17.99

Mr. Snore is tired and just wants a comfortable bed at the Sharemore Hotel. Encountering sleeping companions from a mouse, a pig, spiders, giraffes and even burrowing hamsters, poor Mr. Snore finally tries the 13th floor where a twist of gigantic proportions awaits! Hawkes’s playful illustrations match perfectly with the absurdity of Bradford’s delightful romp. Instant storytime classic!
