Dogosaurus Rex

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Kevin Hawkes. While at the animal shelter to pick out a dog, Ben instead chooses a Tyrannosaurus rex, whom he names Sadie. There is no end of trouble as Ben struggles with the logistics of keeping Sadie, but then the pair works together to stop a robber. Pencil, watercolor, and acrylic illustrations in a soft palette capitalize on Sadie's size and the outrageousness of the story's plot to create added humor.
