He LOVES it. It was read in his montessori class to children aged 2 1/2 - 5 years and they all really enjoyed it too. It's another gem from Julia Donaldson with funny illustrations and wonderful fun rhymes that flow so beautifully and easily no matter how tired you are reading it to your child at bedtime! The story is about a duckbill dinosaur egg that accidentally ends up in a tyrannosaurs nest and when it hatches, the t-rex family are full of disappointment and critisism for the baby duckbill dinosaur, calling him 'Tyrannosaurus Drip'. He tries to fit in but simply can't so he runs away and finds himself drawn to the water, discovering he can swim! He's welcomed by a herd of duckbill dinosaurs who are full of encouragement and little Tyrannosaurus Drip can't believe it when he looks into the water and realises that he's not a tyrannosaurus at all but a duckbill dinosaur. One night a storm blows a tree across the river, allowing the t-rex family to cross to the duckbills (whom they want to eat) but little Tyrannosaurus Drip scares them by pointing out their own reflections in the water and they jump with fright, breaking the fallen tree trunk, falling into the water and being washed off down a waterfall. In the end, Tyrannosaurus Drip is the hero and lives happily ever after with his new name 'Duckbill Drip'. If I had a complaint about the story it's that I don't like the idea of the 'running away from home' bit but it's not enough to take from the sheer delight this book brings. I've read it maybe 100 times by my son's request in less than a year and I'm not bored of it yet! Review: One of Julia Donaldson's finest; beautifully illustrated - I love this book. Though clearly, from other reviews, it's a bit of a marmite offering. In my view, Tyrannosaurus Drip is, with the Gruffalo, the best of Julia Donaldson's books, if one of the least well known. Great story (a skewed, more entertaining version of "the ugly duckling"), lovely catchy rhyming, beautiful illustrations. I've bought several as gifts for pre-school children over the years, who all enjoyed it. One of my colleagues' boys still recites it nearly a decade later. Get the bigger size to fully appreciate the fabulous artwork. CD is a bonus (especially for a gift!) but not essential. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 17,904 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 101 in Children's Books on Dinosaurs 119 in Humorous Verse 171 in Stories in Verse for Children (Books) | | Customer reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (1,132) | | Dimensions | 23.5 x 0.5 x 30 cm | | Edition | Main Market | | ISBN-10 | 1509892435 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1509892433 | | Item weight | 208 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 32 pages | | Publication date | 7 Feb. 2019 | | Publisher | Macmillan Children's Books | | Reading age | 2 - 5 years, from customers | ## Images ![Tyrannosaurus Drip - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91Nd+X0gmTL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant *by M***Y on 13 October 2012* My 4 year old son got this 'from Santa' as he's crazy about dinosaurs.

Julia Donaldson has to be one of the most creative children's authors around and David Roberts' illustrations suit the book perfectly. The story follows Tyrannosaurus Drip journey from being a egg in the wrong nest to finding his way back to his Duckbill Dinosaur herd. The rhyming is perfect and the story is amusing and cute. A fantastic book for children and parents. ## Frequently Bought Together - Tyrannosaurus Drip - The Troll - The Flying Bath --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.id/products/109916942-tyrannosaurus-drip](https://www.desertcart.id/products/109916942-tyrannosaurus-drip) --- *Product available on Desertcart Indonesia* *Store origin: ID* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
