Description
A dinosaur book with humour and fun facts—perfect for the youngest dino fans!
I'm a T. Rex!
I ROARRRR and I romp! I GRRROWWLLL and I stomp! I'm a T. rex.
In this brand-new Little Golden Book, a T. rex tells all about his great and terrible self. Facts about the T. rex are humorously presented: "Does the T stand for toothy? Does the T stand for tall? Does the T stand for terrible? I am known as them all!"
The ending reveals a surprise—the T. rex is still a baby in a nest, watched over lovingly by his "great BIG MAMA T. rex!"
This Little Golden Book is illustrated by Brian Biggs, one of today's most in-demand illustrators. He brings to life the popular Shredderman books by Wendelin Van Draanen.
Author Dennis Shealy is a children's book editor and the author of the popular Little Golden Book I'm a Truck, illustrated by the award-winning artist Bob Staake.
