Dippy Summary

Dippy: The nation's favourite dinosaur by David Mackintosh

MEET DIPPY: Dippy is a Diplodocus (DIP-low-DOCK-us). Dippy was the first of its kind to go on display anywhere in the world when it arrived at the Museum more than a hundred years ago. Since then, Dippy has adventured across the length and breadth of the country. MEET WATERHOUSE: Waterhouse the Mouse lives in the Museum and thought he knew about everything within its famous walls. Until one day he meets a gigantic bony stranger and a big booming voice... When railroad workers unearthed the fossilised bones of a Diplodocus in Wyoming, USA in 1899, newspapers billed the discovery as the 'most colossal animal ever on Earth'. Dippy, a replica of this famous skeleton, first arrived in London in 1905, and for many years served as an awe-inspiring welcome for visitors to the Natural History Museum. This book answers all your questions about the nation's favourite dinosaur and will delight young readers with its imaginative illustrations.

About David Mackintosh

David Mackintosh is a picture book author who has made many books for children, but this is his first featuring a dinosaur. In fact, he knew absolutely nothing about sauropods before starting this book. David visited the Museum to draw the architecture and see Dippy in person. These illustrations are made using oil pencil, ink, kraft paper and watercolour.
