Description The play is about a curious animal called Rosi who is born into a primeval swamp where she has to learn to survive. She is surrounded by all manner of monsters ... Rosi is uncertain of her species' identity ... she will have to learn discrimination, as do all children ... Almost a Dinosaur has within its story a sub-text that encourages children to develop codes of value.
