"Dave's curiosity for the natural world is always obvious to me in his work, and he transfers that love for life to who ever chances upon it. His drawings and compositions show the wonder of the natural world, while his humor and his story layer it with life."
- Matt Nolte, Character Designer, Pixar, and illustrator of Brave: One Perfect Day
San Francisco, California- September 15, 2014
Immedium, Inc. proudly announces the publication of the children's picture book Play with your Food. Created by professional animator David Derrick, this lively adventure features a pre-historic "Odd Couple": a little reptile who pulls out all the stops to convince a larger predator to not eat him! Their spirited banter and humorous romp will entertain young readers.
The Permian Period was millions of years before the age of the dinosaurs...but it was still a eat-or-be-eaten world! The tiny gecko-like lizard confronts this once it lands on the menu of much larger, and oh so hungry, dimetrodon.
Refusing to accept its fate lying down, the lizard dares to counter generations of hallowed wisdom. It advises the big predator that it's better to play with your food than to eat it. When the carnivore balks, the lizard simply won't take no for an answer! A hilarious debate and chase ensue. This prehistoric pair provides classic comedy with physical pratfalls and witty wordplay. This is an unique "dinosaur" tale with a twist!
This is the fourth funny storybook by Dave Derrick, who is an animator at Disney. Previously Dave created Sid the Squid and the Search for the Perfect Job, Animals Don't So I Won't!, and I'm the Scariest Thing in the Jungle!, which are sold at zoos and aquariums nationwide.
Illustrated with naturalistic verve by a veteran storyteller, Play with your Food will resonate with children and their parents, who both know an enjoyable mealtime when they see it.
