family favorite

My nephews loves this book. If he picks a bed time book it's usually this one. I also love this book. As other reviewers mention, it's a cute, adorable story about a T-Rex who wishes he was a vegetarian. Very nice, funny way for children to see conflicting action/feelings. Even good T-Rex can't help be bad sometimes and just has to be himself. Great for kids who are into dinosaurs. First time i've seen T-Rex with some personality instead of being just a big monster. Also found the DVD at the library which is also very good. Grandma laughs every time she watches with the kids.

great dino book

I bought this book for my son for Christmas, I can't wait to give it to him. He is five and a budding paleontologist. He loves anything to do with dinosaurs. I know he is going to love this book. The pictures are beautiful, and the story is really cute. A great story about being yourself.

My 18-month old LOVES all of Peter McCarty's books. Even the ones that are for slightly older readers completely capture his attention. He loves everything about them--the pictures and the stories. When he was younger, they were the only books he would want to look at from cover to cover. And it's strange, because the drawings are quite artistic and are in muted colors, not the bold primary colors usually used in children's books. And a big plus -- the stories are so charming that even adults won't get sick of them (at least I haven't yet, after about 1,000 readings!).

I am a dinosaur, otherwise known as a terrible lizard.I do not know why I am so terrible.From a Caldecott Medal honoree comes the story of an endearing Tyrannosaurus rex who wonders why he can't be a vegetarian Tyrannosaurus rex is a terrible dinosaur; of this, everyone is certain. But is this dinosaur really so terrible? He IS very big and very hungry. True, he might even eat his neighbors for lunch. But from his point of view, he can't help it. After all, he's not a vegetarian . . . T Is for Terrible is the story of an introspective dinosaur. With droll humor in both the text and illustrations, Peter McCarty shows us why dinosaurs are the obsession of children everywhere. His not so terrible. T. rex is one of the most irresistible children's book dinosaurs to appear since the Mesozoic era.
