Dino Auto: A story in doggerel

Buy the Book
A man in a cowboy hat leans against a gas pump at Jim's Gas, while a large red monster truck spewing exhaust idles behind some desert brush along the side of the road.

Hidden in the brushy desert
out of site with headlights dimmed,
waited warlike Dino Auto

and his partner, Little Jim.

Little Jim, he owned a station
selling oil and some gas.
He and Dino Auto teamed up

to make sure no one could pass.

Excerpt From: Mary O’Shaughnessy. “Dino Auto.”

“My son … he LOVES it – especially the pictures of the cars. The illustrations are unique and a nice change from other children’s books. It’s a great way to start a conversation with young ones about renewable energy and the impact our actions have on the planet.”

~ Liz W.

“Funny and whimsical, with a narrative that will appeal to all ages and charming childlike imagery, Dino Auto offers an inspiring message for techno-bullies: get with the new world. The journey there is a real blast.”
