From the author of Bird Hugs, a story about being yourself, even if that means becoming a new kind of dinosaur!Brian loves dinosaurs. When he discovers that frogs were around when dinosaurs were alive, he decides that makes him a dinosaur—a Brianosaurus, in fact. At first, it’s fun. But his woodland friends think he should roar all the time, not use trampolines or read books. And the frogs think he’s making the pond look bad. So Brianosaurus decides to act exactly the way they want. The trouble is, he isn’t happy…until he decides to be himself.

“Digitally rendered pencil and watercolor illustrations depict vivid pond and forest scenes and likable and well-meaning friends as the story traces a sweetly funny path to self-acceptance. Will have readers recognizing that they, too, can be their own unique ME-osauruses.” —Kirkus Reviews“This tale of individuality championed and rewarded wears its message lightly, with gentle-hued pencil, watercolor, and digital illustrations portraying two communities full of adorable animals—all trying to do right by their friend.” —Publishers Weekly“With a delightfully expressive amphibious protagonist, Adamson’s story shares what it means to stay true to oneself even in the face of other people’s (or creature’s) demands. The mixed media of the spring color palette of watercolor and thin pencil textures creates an exuberant atmosphere for Brian and his friends to nurture their imagination…” —The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books“An original and fun picture book about frogs, dinosaurs, and peer pressure. A fun read from start to finish, Brianosaurus is unique and unreservedly recommended…” —Midwest Book Review
