PS
A Tyrannosaurus rex bemoans his bad-guy image and makes a bid for sympathy in this imaginative portrayal of a dinosaur's perspective. Shadowy pencil drawings in muted tones accompany the succinct text, capturing the wistfulness in the expression of the "terrible lizard" as he tries to convince readers that he can't help being the way he is.
