Stuckasaurus (Dino Dad Reviews)

I just discovered a whimsical book while browsing on Instagram that I think people here might enjoy.
It's titled "GROAR" and is a collection of sketches by an artist named Lapin, which contrasts museum skeletal mounts with silly plastic toy dinosaurs of the cheap, endlessly reproduced variety many of us refer to as "chinasaurs". As stated on the store page:
"From a giant original T-Rex skeleton, up to the ugliest plastic replicas caught in flea markets, this book will bring you back to your childhood and make you smile."
It's a fun idea, and one I think is worth checking out! Store link below:

That's a really fun idea! I recognize quite a few of them, I could swear our kindergarden had that Tyrannosaurus from the cover and do I spot the old Replica-saurus Spinosaurus there?
