Rotten and Rascal: The Two Terrible Pterosaur Twins

Paul Geraghty
(Barron's Educational Series)
32pp, 978-0764159183, RRP £8.91, Hardcover
Under 5s Pre-School/Nursery/Infant
Buy "Rotten and Rascal: The Two Terrible Pterosaur Twins" on Amazon

A delicious cautionary tale starring Pterosaur twins whose sole occupation seems to be shouting, squabbling, screaming, screeching or some other form of adversarial engagement as each strives to prove his supremacy over his sibling.

Suggestions from others on how to resolve the ownership of a fish only increase the decibel level and the terrible two are too intent on disputation even to taste the object of their argument. Readers on the other hand, have an alliterative feast of fun as they pore over Geraghty’s paintings of prehistoric landscapes populated by punk dinosaurs with a penchant for piercings.

With its wonderful final throwaway sentence, this cannot fail to be a winner.
