A Lovely Love Story (Hardcover)

Product Description

Together they stand on the hill, telling each other stories and feeling the warmth of the sun on their backs. And that, my friends, is how it is with love." --Edward Monkton

Mr. Darcy and Miss Bennett. Ozzie and Harriet. Jay-Z and Beyonce. Great couples often find togetherness by embracing their individual differences. In this modern-day fable, Edward Monkton pens an irresistible love story about a fiercely funny but distant Dinosaur who falls in love with a forgetful but free-spirited (and shopping-savvy) Lovely Other Dinosaur.

* Monkton, perhaps better known as the U.K.'s top-selling living poet Giles Andreae

* This ode to love pairs Monkton's signature illustrations with simple yet profound prose.

About the Author

5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet and nice!, June 10, 2007

By	L. Miller (CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this book for my boyfriend on a whim and it's just a sweet little love story about two dinosaurs who fall in love and learn to accept each other. It would be a cute valentine's gift for your sweetheart (as long as s/he doesn't mind being compared to a dinosaur.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't love this book more, December 2, 2009

This is probably my favorite of all of his books, and I own several of them. It is very sweet and relatable. Highly recommended to anyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredibly Cute!, February 10, 2008

By	* "Aspiring Cook, Farmer, and Seasoned Couch ... - See all my reviews

This story is incredibly cute! As another reviewer noted, this is a story about two dinosaurs that fall in love and make efforts to accept one another as they are. I often find that cartoons and comics are able to say exactly how I feel about any given situation, but in much fewer words. This book is no different in that the primitive drawings, simple dialogue, and dinosaur characters convey exactly what it is I'd want to say to my significant other in a cute and concise manner.
