About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is in a high-energy mood, testing their own boundaries of power, or simply needs a safe outlet to be 'loud and tough.' While it seems like a simple story about a hungry dinosaur, it is actually a playful exploration of bravado and identity. It allows children to inhabit a 'bad boy' persona in a way that is humorous rather than harmful. Through the rhythmic, boisterous voice of a T-Rex, the book explores themes of self-confidence and the joy of being big and strong. It is perfectly suited for preschoolers and early elementary students who are transitioning into 'big kid' roles and want to flex their independence. Parents will appreciate the clever wordplay and the underlying message that even the 'baddest' creatures have a fun, silly side.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book deals with the 'predator and prey' dynamic in a purely secular, naturalistic, and humorous way. While the T-Rex talks about eating other dinosaurs, no actual violence or death is depicted on screen. It is handled with cartoonish levity.
