About Messy-o-saurus

Children will be captivated with the wild imaginings of this dinosaur loving- protagonist, by beloved children’s book author Rachel Weston

Do you have a Messy-o-saurus living at your house? Maybe you have some Snivelling Snoo-galas, or their friends, the Bouncing Boo-galas!

Children will be captivated with the wild imaginings of this dinosaur-loving protagonist. She blames made up creatures, like the Messy-o-saurus and the Two-horned Trumpeting Sea Rompster, for the mess she’s making around the house. Using clever illustrative narrative effect it’s not obvious who the real Messy-o-saurus is … until the very end!

Author, Rachel Weston, with her skilled rhythm and rhyme has taken that One Good Idea and teamed up with creative illustrator, Scott Tulloch. The result is a highly visual, super fun book with playful-sounding words that’s sure to be an on-repeat bedtime read for lots of little messy-o-sauruses up and down New Zealand.

About the author

This is Rachel’s fifth independently published children’s book in three years. It follows on from her popular picture book Bumblebee (2021) and her continuing sought-after first book Bumblebees Have Smelly Feet (2019). Rachel home-schooled her three, now grown, children for ten years where reading books was at the heart of their schooling. During that time, Rachel confesses, there was lots of mess!

About the illustrator
