A madcap romp of a story,reminiscent of Dr Seuss,written by two members of the pop-band McFly,that features - you guessed it - a dinosaur and lots of poo.
Danny is a very greedy boy. Every year,he asks Father Christmas for too many presents. So this year,Father Christmas decides to teach him a lesson; he gives Danny a dinosaur.
The result is very large,very smelly and very,very funny.
"Expect this naughty rhyming story to be a seasonal favourite."- The Bookseller.
Dougie Poynter and Tom Fletcher had written songs together for nine years,as members of McFly,before they decided to begin their The Dinosaur that Pooped series of children's books,which have been a roaring (ahem) success.
