As he waits for his cue to join the ceremony, he admires the wedding cake . . . and notices that he’s not alone in ogling that tower of frothy perfection. Is that a dodo, eating one of the frosting roses? As more and more creatures enter the scene—including two beavers, a boa constrictor, and a bunch of bats—it’s hard to tell who’s a \u003ci\u003eguest\u003c\/i\u003e and who's a \u003ci\u003epest\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eBut Mr. Snore, rushing the cake trolley from room to room, is going to do his heroic best to save that prize from sure disaster. From author and playwright Wade Bradford and award-winning illustrator Kevin Hawkes comes a madcap encore to \u003ci\u003eThere’s a Dinosaur on the 13th Floor\u003c\/i\u003e, starring the ever-proper Mr. Snore.Comic, dramatic, fast-paced illustrations reveal well-intentioned Mr. Snore’s cascading mistakes as he heroically thrusts and parries his bow and frantically steers the cake trolley across the pages. Diverse animals dressed in wedding finery border on the absurd, but none match proper Mr. Snore and his hilariously monumental proboscis. . . . A riotous, rib-tickling comedy of errors.\u003cbr\u003e—Kirkus Reviews\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKids will love poring over the detailed illustrations, looking for hidden jokes, and learning that things aren’t always as they seem.\u003cbr\u003e—Brightly\u003cb\u003eWade Bradford\u003c\/b\u003e teaches English at Moorpark College and is the author of the picture books \u003ci\u003eThere’s a Dinosaur on the 13th Floor\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003ePapa Bear’s Page Fright\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eWhy Do I Have to Make My Bed?\u003c\/i\u003e,\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eAround the World in a Bathtub.\u003c\/i\u003e He has also written more than thirty-five plays.
