About This Book

A parent might reach for this book when their child is struggling with being a sore loser or is a bit too focused on being the 'best' at everything. T. Rex is the king of his jungle, winning every contest until a new, clever dinosaur named Iris arrives. She introduces games that require brains over brawn, forcing T. Rex to confront his own limitations. This humorous story gently explores themes of friendly competition, humility, and the value of teamwork. It’s perfect for early elementary schoolers learning to navigate social dynamics, showing them that everyone has unique strengths and that playing together is often more rewarding than winning alone.
