By Ian Randal Strock

DreamWorks Animation has optioned film rights to Chris Gall's Dinotrux, an illustrated children's book that will Little, Brown Young Readers will publish in June. The deal, for mid-six figures, was brokered by Hotchkiss and Associates on behalf of Sterling Lord Literistic.

According to Variety, the book "takes place in a fictional prehistoric age, when the world was ruled by Dinotrux, creatures that were part trucks, part dinosaurs, with species like the Craneosaurus, Garbageadon and Tyrannosaurus Trux plowing and bulldozing their way across the terrain. The title characters will be talking creatures."
