K-3Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science series.
Illustrated by
Lucia Washburn.
Although the book begins with a brief explanation of where and when the earliest Tyrannosaurus rex fossils were excavated, the primary focus is on the creature's role as a predator. Accompanied by color illustrations, the shallow text speculates on how the massive dinosaur used its jaws, legs, vision, and brain to track down and kill various dinosaurs. A brief list of T. rex relatives is included.
