A cute story about a T-Rex who wants to demonstrate how "bad" he is by hunting various types of prey. His plan backfires, however, when he is thwarted by every available food source. The poor hungry dinosaur is losing all hope until his much bigger mother arrives with food. This is a twist since the dino acted as though he was the biggest, baddest creature around. The abstract illustrations represent the young dinosaur's energy well, with bright colors and little detail. There are only 2 lines of text per page, making this a breezy read. Could work well in a dinorsaur themed storytime for preschool aged children.
