About The Book

Bite into a new adventure with Grandmasaurus!

The grocery store may be a normal place to visit, but there's nothing normal about a Grandma who magically sneezes herself into different dinosaurs! When Grandma's dinosaur antics threaten to make a mess of the store, it's up to her grandchildren to find and stop her--even if they have healthy eating reports to write.

Nine new dinosaurs await in this fun addition to the Adventures of Grandmasaurus picture book series!

This picture book includes:

- engaging illustrations that allow active reading

- an intergenerational tale in which children experience role reversal and must teach an adult about responsibility

- loads of dinosaur facts and a glossary for added learning value

- connections to health and science curricula (healthy food choices, life systems)

- a story that promotes cooperation, perseverance, and initiative

Playful hilarity when two children’s grandmother goes all dinosaur. - BookLife

Love, love, love! Dinosaur lovers will ADORE this sweet, fun, and adventurous trip to the supermarket! I also really like how they are great lessons to be learned about food & healthy eating, good behaviour while shopping, and lots of dinosaur facts. Perfect for a read-aloud, to accompany a lesson, or just for bedtime stories :) The illustrations are also so colourful, creative, and full of expression!

Written with a dash of whimsy, The Adventures of Grandmasaurus at the Supermarket effectively engages young dinosaur lovers, the grandparents that care about them, and does so in an everyday location, making it all the more magical. The final page provides a silhouette of and basic explanations for each of the dinosaurs from the story, including a pronunciation guide and facts about what each ate. O’Toole’s expressive watercolor illustrations and hand-lettering add to the overall cheerful and upbeat atmosphere, depicting gorgeous fresh vegetables and a diverse student population with thoughtful attention. Well-suited for dinosaur buffs or lovers of playful chaos in everyday settings, this playful adventure is sure to delight.
