What Happened to the Dinotrux?
by Reporter Savannah Martyn
Coyote Trail Elementary
Tucsonan Chris Gall’s most recent book, “Dinotrux,” is about trucks that look and live like dinosaurs. The creatures in the book have names like Dumploducus and Digasaurus. So “Dinotrux” is like a dinosaur history that stretches from cave man times on up to modern-day life, with part-dino, part-truck beings that ruled for a million years. The story answers the question of what happened to the dinotrux, (like the ‘What happened to the dinosaurs?’ question). For the answer, take a look at Gall’s entertaining book. The pictures might remind you of an old-fashioned comic book, and I highly recommend it.
Check out page 15 for my interview with Gall, or go to his Web site at www.chrisgall.com to find out more. You can also see him on March 13 at the Tucson Festival of Books, at the UofA campus, in a panel with other children’s authors.
I bet you’ll enjoy hearing about his books as much as I enjoyed interviewing him!
