Two dinosaurs whose species are sworn enemies want to become friends in New York Times bestselling author Mo O’Hara’s prehistoric spin on Shakespeare.

In this hilarious take on Shakespeare for children 4 to 8—with dinosaurs instead of people—Romeosaurus and Juliet Rex get along perfectly well until they realize that their families should be mortal enemies!

“Your family would eat mine,” says Romeosaurus, who comes from a family of herbivores. Yes, it’s true—Juliet Rex’s family are carnivores, and Romeosaurus’s family are plant-loving herbivores.

With two families up in arms (very short ones for Juliet Rex) the two friends run away, determined not to let family baggage determine who their friends should be.

With this funny take on the world’s most cherished love story, Mo O’Hara transforms Shakespeare into a relatable and truly funny dinosaur romp for young readers. Coupled to perfection with Andrew Joyner’s expressive and classic illustrations, this tale will get giggles while introducing the most beloved writer known to the world today.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreS-Gr 2–In this prehistoric twist on a Shakespeare classic, Romeo is a herbivore and Juliet is a meat eater. Just like in the source material, they meet at a ball and realize that they are indeed star-crossed lovers, this time not because of a family feud, but because of their meal choices. Knowing that they can never be accepted by the other's family (dinner parties would be an absolute disaster) the pair decides to run off together. Though there is slight nod to the original fate of the main characters (the couple's hats are found floating in the tar pits) the resolution to this version is much less macabre. The families realize that they can't be kept apart and decide to accept the pairing. The final scene shows a happy gathering of herbivores and carnivores mingling together, with a familiar looking Bardasaurus at the head of the table and a very dangerous comet in the sky. The illustrations are humorous and very detailed; the endpapers showing the family portraits are delightful. VERDICT An original and entertaining fractured version of a classic tale.—Jasmine L. Precopio, Fox Chapel Area School District, Pittsburgh

Originally from America, Mo moved to London because she wanted to live abroad but spoke no foreign languages. After a brief and unsuccessful stint as a serving wench at the Tower of London Mo found work as an actress and comedy performer. It was when she toured the UK as a storyteller that she started writing for kids. Mo and her big brother once brought back their goldfish from the brink of death!

Now, Mo lives in South London with her husband, her two kids and her two (slightly bitey) cats.

Mo loves singing (in choirs, in school visits and festivals with her ukulele and singing along to the Hamilton soundtrack in her kitchen). She runs and loves travelling all over the world.

Mo has toured all across the USA and the UK and has also visited schools and festivals in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

I got this for my just turned 4 yr old grandboy's Valentine Day's gift. He is dinosaur crazy! I thought his daddy would have to tell him about the Shakespeare tale but this very cute story stands on its own. My grandboy learned lots about herbivores and carnivores and LOVE!
The illustrations are wonderful. I bet your child will love this story, too!

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect book for my granddaughter!
Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2021
This was the perfect book for my 4 year old granddaughter! She LOVES dinosaurs, but she also loved Taylor Swift’s song about Romeo and Juliet! She is a superb reader and was able to read it easily and absolutely loved the pictures! Definitely buy for a little female Dino lover!
