Dinosaurs in Space: Out of this World
by Pranas T. Naujokaitis
ISBN: 978-1-60905-543-1
A Junior Library Guild selection
Dinosaurs, comics, and outer space—together at last!
Here’s a two-books-in-one package for fans of cartoons, dinosaurs, and hilarity. This new, paperback Balloon Toons format features two comics-style readers that School Library Journal states will appeal to “emerging readers and younger fans of Dav Pilkey’s ‘Captain Underpants’ series.”
“Dinosaurs in Space” introduces the ETDs (Extra-Terrestrial Dinos) and explains how they became galactic.
“Crash Landing” brings six ETDs back to present-day earth and shows their bumbling efforts to repair their spaceship. In all these dino-stories, Pranas Naujokaitis brings wit and warmth to this critically acclaimed comics/early reader series.
