Matti is the biggest dino fan of all time. He would give anything to see a real dinosaur just once. Too bad that's not possible. Or is it? One day, while Matti is painting another dino picture, the unimaginable happens: the crayon dino comes to life! At first, Matti is overjoyed. But the dino grows incredibly fast. And he is always hungry. Not for plants or meat. No, the dino prefers plastic! Soon, the plastic waste and the space in the house are no longer enough for the dino. He moves to an animal sanctuary, and the whole town helps with feeding him. But why does the dino love eating plastic so much?

With humorous illustrations and witty texts, Anka Schwelgin playfully invites readers to engage in exciting thought experiments about environmental protection in this colorful picture book.
