"Dinosaur Detective! One of my students is hiding because he hasn't done his homework. Can you find him?" asks an irate teacher in a mountain scene featuring dozens of tiny skiers, sheep, shepherds--and giant monsters gnawing on snow-capped peaks. Gerrive channels Martin Handford in dense illustrations packed with surreal details (a planet made up of eyes, a museum crowded with humans, animals, ghosts, and aliens), and finding the missing creatures and objects is satisfyingly challenging." - Publishers Weekly Starred Review<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Sophie Guerrive was born in 1983 in Marseille and studied at the University of Aix en Provence and then at the School of Arts Décoratifs in Strasbourg.
