Award-winning author Todd Sturgell returns with another irreverent, hilarious, and informative picture book that explains just how dinosaurs might have ended up in space!

Dinosaur fossils are found all over the world...and even on the moon?!

Dinosaurs lived on this planet millions of years ago. We know about the dinosaurs from the fossils they left behind. But did you know some of those fossils might be on the moon? The dinosaurs in THIS book think that must mean there are Dinosaurs in Space! But is that really what happened? 

In this silly science lesson gone wrong, discover what happens when dinosaurs let their imaginations run wild while learning about real scientific theories. These dinos are determined to boldly go where no dinosaur has gone before: space!

      Grades K-2 Don't be shy: meet an Austroraptor, though he prefers the more casual "Austro." As the narrator gives a quick intro on dinosaurs, Austro heads for the next page. The raptor zooms through the dinosaur time line and introduces all the animals to one another, though they never would have crossed paths in real life. The dinosaur begs the flustered narrator to avoid mentioning a tough topic (extinction), but that catastrophe is the catalyst for the book's provocative hypothesis, namely, that an enormous asteroid impact could have flung countless bits of earth, plants, dinosaurs, and fossils into space, potentially as far as the moon. The scientifically minded narrator fully loses control of their dinosaur pal at this point, and wildly funny misunderstandings abound. Colorful, cartoonish illustrations are packed with humor and high jinks, and alternating voices are cleverly differentiated by the narrator's tidy typeface and Austro's hand-scrawled responses. It's a niche bit of science, but one that offers an intriguing angle on dinosaur discussions. A mind-expanding exploration of scientific speculation that will have readers laughing and learning.
