Parker's Place by Russ Willms introduces Parker the T. Rex, who is trying to fit in on a friendly farm, even though there are no jobs that seem suitable for a dinosaur. It will take a lot of work—and a lot of laughs—before Parker can find his place in this sweet barnyard tale. A funny read-aloud that’s perfect for fans of We Don’t Eat Our Classmates and Tiny T. Rex.

In order to fit in at the farm, Parker has to pull his weight—but he can’t lay eggs or give milk. Maybe the farmer’s chores will be better suited to Parker’s strengths, if only he weren’t so big and clumsy! But might some farm animals know exactly where Parker’s place is?

This silly and sweet barnyard tale with a well-meaning dinosaur will have readers laughing and also considering what it means to belong.

  • Perfect for animal lovers.
  • A laugh-out-loud read-aloud.
  • Delivers a sweet message about belonging.
  • Bright, inviting, and funny artwork showcases Russ Willms’s masterful comic timing.
