What happens when a crayon drawing comes to life with a voracious appetite for plastic?

In The Recyclosaurus (Der Recyclosaurus), Matti is the world's biggest dinosaur fan. He would give anything to see a real one, but he knows that's impossible. Or is it? One day, while drawing, the unthinkable happens: his crayon dinosaur steps off the page! Matti is overjoyed, but his new friend grows incredibly fast—and he's always hungry.

Strangely, this dino doesn't want plants or meat; he only wants to eat plastic! As the Recyclosaurus devours waste and outgrows the house, the whole town pitches in to help feed him at an animal sanctuary. But why does he love plastic so much?

With humorous illustrations and pointed text, Anka Schwelgin invites young readers into an exciting thought experiment. It is a colorful, playful exploration of environmental protection that turns a global problem into a prehistoric adventure.
