Whistle-Stop Mercantile

Description

Niamh Sharkey creates Christmas magic with her simple, quirky, and striking illustrations in this supersaurus story for dinosaur lovers — and believers — everywhere.

Christmas is coming to Dinosaur Town, and Ollie, Molly, and Milo are writing their letters to Santasaurus. Ollie wishes for a dinobot. Molly asks for a dinocycle. All Milo wants is to meet Santasaurus and fly in his sleigh. Later there's Christmas shopping with Momosaurus — "What hustle and bustle and squoosh!" — and plenty of wrapping and decorating on Christmas Eve. But when nighttime comes, will Santasaurus make Ollie's, Molly's, and Milo's wishes come true?

About the Author

Niamh Sharkey, the author-illustrator of THE RAVENOUS BEAST, has illustrated several picture books for children. She says, "Two of my favorite things are dinosaurs and Christmas. Mixing both together in SANTASAURUS seemed like the most normal thing in the world to me. I loved creating Dinosaur World. Ollie is named after my uncle Ollie, who looks a little like a purple dinosaur. This Christmas, remember to leave milk and cookies for Santasaurus and carrots for the dinodeer — especially for Rudolfosaurus, as he always has a rumbly belly!" Niamh Sharkey lives in Dublin.
