Tyrannosaurus Wrecks! by Sudipta Bardhan-Quallen illustraed by Zachariah OHora

This was another book we got from the library last night. It is a fun book about preschool age dinosaurs who are playing, creating and having fun until Tyrannosaurus enters the scenes and wrecks whatever was going on. I guess he is kind of a bully, and the book shows how he can be less of a bully, and how everyone can wreck things sometimes. One thing I have always hated about children's books about dinosaurs is that I have to pronounce all the dinosaur names. Tyrannosaurus isn't so bad, but Gallimimus and Apatosaurus. Luckily, there wasn't a lot of text in the book, otherwise I wouldn't want to read it again. As it stands, the message was good, and only a few names to mis-pronounce. In other children's books about dinosaurs, or English books with Spanish words, I have seen pronunciation guides to assist the reader, and that would have been appreciated here.

Format: paper
Read/don't read: read
