Author/Illustrator: Peter McCarty
Year: 2004
Reading Level: Picture book (4-6)
Plot Summary: Tyrannosaurus Rex narrates this book and wonders why he is called "terrible." After all, he says, he came out of an egg just like other dinosaurs and had a mother, just like other dinosaurs. It's not his fault he grew to be so big and hungry. He can't be a vegetarian and he can't help squashing flowers when he walks.
My Rating: A+. This is surely the cutest dinosaur book I have ever read. It makes me all sad for this cute, puffy-looking, wants-to-be-loved Tyrannosaurus Rex. The illustrations are very nice, and the text is big and easy to read. And even though I love T-Rexes anyway, I have to admit I might love them more if they were pink.
