About the book

“Ready or not. I’m going there!”. Three children play hide and seek around the city. Ariel quickly finds Noel and together they go to find Sam, who has hidden in his favorite place: the Museum of Natural History. This fascinating museum will be the setting for a meeting between little Sam and a group of adorable prehistoric animals: Apatosaurus, Gigantopithecus, Mammoth and Megadolon.

A story that, through humor and imagination, addresses issues such as frustration and acceptance of our limitations; but it also shows children how through ingenuity and unity they can overcome obstacles.

The beautiful illustrations, full of details to discover, together with the classic structure of the story: which uses repetition and accumulation as literary devices, make the book a delicious game that will fascinate all those who love extinct creatures.

During the presentation, the story will be narrated and, later, Fabiola Anchorena will give us the workshop and sign copies of the book. We are also waiting for you with an installation of the prehistoric animals from the story so that children can take pictures with them.
