Tyrannosaurus Dad

32 pp. | Roaring Brook/Porter | May, 2011 | Trade ISBN 978-1-59643-531-5 $16.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Matthew Myers. Like many dads, Tobias's father works all the time; unlike other dads, Tobias's father is a (grumpy) T-rex. At Field Day, the dino dad ends up saving the day after a gang of bullies descends. The story's focus is scattered; however, the painterly illustrations of the tie-wearing, newspaper-reading, lawn-mowing suburban T-rex are almost worth the price of admission.
