I remember reading a picture book as a kid, but I can't remember the title of it and none of my family remember it so I'm beginning to wonder if it actually existed or if I dreamt the bloody thing. Anyway, it was by the same publishers as The Tiger Who Came to Tea because I remember the little lion in the corner. I think it was written in the sixties or seventies because the drawings were very psychedelic, which is probably why it stuck in my mind. I can't remember the whole plot, but I remember that it was about how people were poisoning the Earth and all the hills and mountains were really sleeping dinosaurs, and because we'd done so much damage to the planet, the dinosaurs woke up and trees and flowers grew up in the roads, cracking the tarmac and making the world all green and pretty.
Can anyone help identify the book? Or should I start writing it now?! (Or possibly ring my local loony bin)
And no, I've never done any drugs.
On a completely unrelated note of squee, I've just got myself a Fifth Doctor figurine in the Toys R Us sale!
ETA: I'm not mad! I found it, it was published by Puffin, and was called Dinosaurs and All That Rubbish! and believe it or not is still in print. So happy it wasn't the product of my crack-filled brain *grin*
books,
help!,
enquiring minds,
real life
