My Dinosaur is more awesome!

By Simon Coster. When Joel and Olivia sit down to dinner, with two of their favourite dinosaurs, Olivia can't help but point out that her dinosaur is better. Olivia's dinosaur can play the trumpet while riding her bike, and her house is in the shape of a rabbit. Her dinosaur can make her own jam, and she even eats electric eels. But Joel's dinosaur can swim like a shark, and his teeth sometimes glow in the dark. And he's really good at jumping and sliding on his knees, he has x-ray vision, and he's not afraid of bees. Of course, with so many impressive qualities, it's hard to say which dinosaur is really better, but things get even trickier when a third dinosaur joins them at the dinner table. What could be more fearsome than a dinosaur that once ate a volcano and wears slippers the colour of rainbows? The wonderfully funny, imaginative, and vibrant illustrations are perfectly matched to this new take on a dinosaur story, and the loosely rhyming text is hilarious and unexpected. With a battle unlike any dinosaur fight you've seen before, this book is perfect for all dinosaur lovers, siblings, and parents alike.

Gus the Dinosaur Bus By Siyuan Liu

Gus is a very large, very special green dinosaur--and he makes the perfect city school bus. Or does he? He causes traffic jams, gets tangled in telephone lines, knocks down traffic lights, and creates potholes with his big stomping feet. If the principal fires Gus from school bus duty, how will the thirty-ton dino find a new job? Lynn's wonderful, sketchy watercolour and pencil illustrations recall old classics, as does the pleasantly preposterous story of a dinosaur who just wants to be helpful.

Definitely not!
