Running from a T-Rex
Daddy Donut is buying a hot dog when an ill-mannered T-Rex suddenly shows up and wants a bite. The best thing to do is to take the hot dog and run, but the T-Rex follows, and a thrilling chase begins.
The rhyming text gallops through the pages and the quirky illustrations encourage to play hide and seek with the dinosaur as Daddy Donut tries to outrun the T-Rex. You can almost taste the hot dog! The funny rhyming and fast-paced pictures take the reader through the city and the country, the forest and the sea, all the way to a fire-breathing volcano. Then, to Daddy Donut’s relief he finds something to satisfy the hungry T-Rex’s appetite…
Running from a T-Rex is the debut picture book by Daddy Donut, one of Sweden’s most popular children’s artists. Daddy Donut is also well-known internationally and his English Youtube channel has over 40 million views. The book’s brilliant and fun pictures are illustrated by Ola Lindblom.
Universal Music Group is planning to launch Daddy Donut in Germany as Papa Brezel.

Reviews
Sandra Hollstedt - Förskolan Newspaper
"What a funny book! So witty, detailed, imaginative and scary. Witty, because there is a humorous tone in both picture and text. Exciting, because it contains sudden dangers and cliffhangers. The illustrations are rich in detail with lots to discover with each reading, you can find individual little stories in the pictures."
