Rodasauri the Diplodocus has always dreamed of experiencing a proper London Christmas. On his way to find this land of sparkling decorations, he meets the generous Father Christmas who helps him get to London, taking him on a tour of all the wonderful and diverse Christmas treats that London has to offer. What Rodasauri finds is a place of love and friendship, filled with many different people—and now a dinosaur! —who all join together to celebrate the spirit of Christmas.

With dinosaurs so hugely popular at the moment I feel like the author was already onto a winner with Rodasauri The Dinosaur's Trip To London, factor in that its also a Christmas story and well ...
The delightful story of a dinosaur, Rodasauri, who dreams of visiting London only to be told by his mum that "Dinosaurs shouldn't go to cities because people believed they were extinct." Not to be deterred though Rodasauri sets off with a backpack and a map from his home in Divouri to London with the help of, who else, but of course, Father Christmas.
A wonderful festive tale at the heart of which is the message of friendship, kindness and the offering of hospitality despite the fact that someone might be very different from yourself.
There's turkey, yule logs and singing carols around the Christmas tree, set partly against a backdrop of famous London landmarks such as Big Ben and Tower Bridge. The bright, bold illustrations bringing to life Rodasauri's journey as he gets to experience his first Christmas in London and all that that entails with his new friends who open up not just their home but their hearts to him.
This really is such an exceptionally delightful story that I can see being a firmed favourite that is shared Christmas after Christmas ... and, for all of those dinosaur mad children, every day in between.
