T. Rex

T. Rex

by Vivian French
illustrated by Alison Bartlett
Candlewick Press, 2004

Tyrannosaurus rex stars in this vibrant picture book, in which a boy and his grandfather visit a natural history museum. They find plenty of facts about the big, bad meat eater but also discover how much we still have to learn. The rhythmic main text begs to be read aloud, while smaller-sized captions provide interesting additional information. Even kids who aren’t crazy about dinosaurs will be entranced by the big, bright illustrations.
