Why Don’t Dinosaurs Live in New York?

What if your family pet were a dinosaur?

Not a giant monster tearing through skyscrapers, but a small Rex who sleeps beside the couch, watches the refrigerator with suspicious interest, and has a complicated relationship with the family cat.

Life with Rex begins with a simple dream and quickly turns into a series of unexpected questions. Can a dinosaur learn the rules of an apartment? What happens when ancient instincts meet modern city life? How do you walk a prehistoric predator through a park full of pigeons?

Through humorous domestic adventures, Oleg Belyi explores evolution, domestication, animal behaviour, and the curious ways humans have built a world around themselves.

*Why Don’t Dinosaurs Live in New York?* is a witty, imaginative journey through everyday life with a very unusual companion — a dinosaur who may be small, but has a remarkable talent for making ordinary situations extraordinary.
