THE DINOSAUR BUNCH SERIES 1-18
Dinosaurgjengen
Published by Kagge Forlag, 2019-2026
In THE DINOSAUR BUNCH, Lars Mæhle and Lars Rudebjer have created a wacky dinosaur universe for children aged between 5 and 8-9 years old. The books are jam-packed with fun and laughter, with suspenseful cliffhangers and surprises that children appreciate.
The main characters in the series are 6-year-old Reggie Rex, a rather anxious tyrannosaurus who prefers not to take any risks, and his friend Timmy Troodon. Unlike Reggie, Timmy is eager to try everything, immediately! Some of the action takes place in and around the Rex cave where Mummy and Daddy Rex live, along with Reggie’s troublesome big brother. We also meet other characters, such as Mary Microraptor and Abbie Ankylosaurus.
This is a colourful series that follows events big and small in the lives of Reggie and his friends. The illustrations are filled with many details to discover. The books are perfect for reading aloud and are suitable for young children who have just started to read. At the back of each book there are lots of facts about all the dinosaurs featured in the story. The books are popular among both children and parents, and are in demand at libraries and bookshops.
English translations are available. 48 pages. Format 20 x 25 cm. Translation rights sold to: China, Denmark, Estonia, Faroe Islands, Finland, Germany, Iceland, Indonesia, Mongolia, Russia, Sami-language regions, Sweden, Taiwan and Ukraine.
