Dino

We do appreciate a beautifully produced book and 'Dino' (A pet unlike any other) by Diego Vaisberg, is no exception.
Printed in only vivid blue and red pantone inks, this screen-printed book is a piece of art in its own right.
So what happens when a gigantic egg appears in your back garden and out pops a dinosaur?!
Well, it all seems rather innocent to begin with, just your usual, run of the mill pet, until Dino begins to grow... and grow...
As you can imagine it's not long before the chaos ensues! How on earth do you accommodate an oversized pet like Dino?
Written with a light-hearted humour and coupled with texture-filled spreads, this makes for an engaging read and an inventive approach to story telling.
This is Diego Vaisberg's debut picture book and is one which will catch many an eye. His illustrative style is highly original and his bold artwork will undoubtedly have wide appeal.
Keep an eye on this new talent, we envisage a bright future ahead.

Having a new pet in the house is always exciting... but what if the new arrival is a dinosaur?
Argentinian graphic designer and illustrator Diego Vaisberg draws on his giant imagination to play a comical curve ball in this gloriously anarchic picture book story about a pint-sized pet who grows into an outsized dinosaur.
When a large egg appears in the backyard, everyone is left wondering whether it's a giant canary, a large lizard or a huge turtle. But it's not any of those... it's a dinosaur! And having Dino, who grows into an enormous dinosaur, in the house can be very tricky. He makes a mess wherever he stomps, eats almost anything and scares away the postman. Follow a day filled with mayhem, excitement and fun in the life of Dino, as he causes havoc in the house, makes new friends and learns right from wrong... the goldfish is definitely not food! But pets are for life... and so is Dino.
Vaisberg's debut picture book is a heartwarming story of unconditional love wrapped up in a madcap adventure full of mishaps, mayhem and madness. The quirky, screen-printed illustrations in vivid shades of red and blue are exciting, inventive and gloriously original and add colour, artistic flair and texture to Dino's laugh-out-loud misadventures.
Spills and thrills on every page!
