When Max finds out that dinosaurs normally eat twigs, stones and creepy-crawlies – ew! – he wants them to be able to try a tasty treat for a change.

Max sends T.Rex some of his favourite sweets, chocolate buttons, to share with the other dinosaurs! But T.Rex isn’t great at sharing his new favourite food with the other dinosaurs … oh no!

So Max shows T.Rex that chocolate is the best, but sharing it makes it taste better!

Dear Chocosaur by Chae Strathie is a delightful tale that encourages the joy of sharing, wrapped up in a fun and engaging story for young readers.
