[ 책 소개 ]

아이들에게 공룡과 중장비 트럭은 언제나 호기심의 대상이며, 커다란 흥미를 불러 일으킵니다. 이 책에서는 아이들이 좋아하는 "공룡과 트럭이 합체가 된다면?"이라는 즐거운 상상을 유머러스한 그림으로 보여줍니다.

크레인 모습을 한 크레이노사우루스는 높은 곳에 있는 나뭇가지도 거뜬히 부러뜨리고,
불도저 모습을 한 도저랩톱스는 지나가는 길에 놓여진 모든 나무와 돌들을 밀어버리고,
롤러 모양을 한 롤로돈은 밟히는 모든 것들을 납작하게 만들고,
쓰레기차 모습을 한 게러지아돈은 무엇이든 게걸스럽게 먹어치우고,
배달트럭 모습을 한 딜리버라돈은 일은 안하고 낮잠만 자네요...

이 외에도, 덤프트럭, 굴착기, 레미콘트럭, 아스팔트 포장트럭, 소방차, 트레일러트럭, 탱커트럭 등 다양한 중장비의 모습을 한 공룡들이 살아가는 모습들을 커다란 그림으로 보여줍니다. 현재 존재하는 모든 중장비 트럭들은 이런 공룡들로부터 진화한 것이라는 깨알같은 결말도 재미있습니다.

책 말미에는 이 책에 등장하는 9종류의 중장비 공룡들의 모습과 이름, 그리고 특징이 실려 있는 수집용 카드 9매가 부록으로 포함되어 있습니다.

What is 페이퍼백? 표지가 두꺼운 판지나 보드지가 아닌 비교적 얇은 종이를 사용해서 만든 책이며, 실박음질 대신에 풀로 제본처리하는 경우가 많습니다. 일반적으로 하드커버나 보드북에 비해서 가격이 저렴합니다. 소프트커버로 불리우기도 합니다. 책의 이음새 부분이 접히거나 휘는 내구성이 그리 좋지는 않은 책입니다.

페이퍼백입니다.

Book Description
(What's this?)Millions of years ago, DINOTRUX ruled the earth! These mighty part-truck, part-dino creatures rumbled, plowed and bulldozed their way through the centuries, demolishing anything in their path.
From the nosy Craneosauraus and the mega-hungry Garbageadon to the bully of the jungle, Tyrannosaurus Trux, Chris Gall guides you on a safari through the wild world of these mechanical monstes of prehistoric times. So buckle up for the ride--you'll never look at Dad's rusty old pickup the same way again!
Whatever happened to the Dinotrux? A big bonus foldout page inside reveals all!


The New York Times
Chris Gall has a lot of fun with the primal place of machines in the lives of small children in his brilliant book Dinotrux. In ripe-to-the-point-of-bursting illustrations--there is something of R. Crumb in his pictures; check out the tiny skirts on the cave ladies! Gall gives us the creation legend of the truck, our modern vehicles being descendants of the combustion-driven monsters that once roamed free.


Publishers Weekly
Combine dinosaurs and trucks and what do you get? In Gall's (There's Nothing to Do on Mars) case, a passel of grateful readers, especially those of the young male variety. With comically overheated narration and typography (think History Channel meets Ripley's Believe It or Not!), fire-roasted settings and hilariously imagined creatures that suggest the offspring of R. Crumb creations and the Transformers, Gall posits that today's trucks are really the descendants of hulking truck-dinosaur hybrids that "ruled the world" and struck fear into the hearts of cave people. Among the species: the fire truck-like Firesaurus ("SO hot tempered, he snacked on raw lava!") and Rollodon ("he NEVER watches where he's going"), who leaves a trail of flattened reptiles in his wake (to the delight of a caveman who snacks on one, declaring it "Delicious!"). While a "flash of light and a terrible storm" wiped out many of these terrifying creatures, the survivors evolved to become the handy vehicles we all know. And now, thanks to Gall, there are even more reasons to love them.


School Library Journal
What if the prehistoric ancestors of today's mega-utility trucks and 18-wheelers were really dinosaurs? This zany and riotous ride spoofs the evolutionary roots of contemporary trucks. Gall's posterlike spreads, rendered in strong black line and fiery, bold colors, use every square inch of space to convey the energy and witty detail of a dangerous ancient world in which part truck, part dinosaur creatures ruled. Chomping, digging, honking, and rolling, such fearsome creatures as "Craneosaurus," "Dumploducus," and "Blacktopadon" were huge, hungry, and decidedly unhelpful, scaring every caveman and cavewoman in sight. A million years later, a terrible storm doomed these crossbreed vehicles to a slow, rusty decline, sending a few hardy survivors on their way south in search of better weather and a more cooperative way of life. Modern-day descendants of the ancient "dinotrux" are on the job in many helpful ways-but a visual joke on the last page underscores that those in museum displays might not be so extinct after all. Blending the endless appeal of dinosaurs and trucks in one hilarious volume, this title will be hard to keep on the shelves.


Kirkus Reviews
The tough working trucks in Kate and Jim McMullan's I Stink! (2002) and sequels look like lightweights next to their brawny prehistoric antecedents in Gall's rousing, grimy full-bleed spreads. Crushing rocks and trees, flattening smaller creatures and sending diminutive cave people fleeing in pop-eyed panic, a round dozen metal behemoths roll by, from towering Craneosaurus-"CRACK, MUNCH. / Look out birds, it's time for lunch!"-and the grossly incontinent Blacktopodon to a stampede of heavily armored Semisaurs and the "bully of the jungle," toothy Tyrannosaurus Trux. Why aren't these motorized monsters with us today? They are, though in the wake of a mighty storm that left most mired in the mud to rust, the survivors went South and, as a climactic foldout reveals, evolved into the more beneficent vehicles we know and love. Dinotrux ruled their world, and now they're likely to rule this one too. Bellow on!
