About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is feeling small, vulnerable, or curious about the concept of protection in a big, sometimes scary world. While it appears to be a typical dinosaur book, it is actually a powerful study of a mother's steadfast presence and fierce devotion to her family. The story follows a prehistoric crocodile as she guards her nest against much larger predators, including the Tyrannosaurus rex. It is an excellent choice for children who are fascinated by nature and survival, providing a bridge between scientific facts and the emotional security of a parent's love. The vintage illustrations and descriptive prose offer a calm but gripping narrative that validates the child's need for safety while sparking a sense of wonder about history and the resilience of life. It is best suited for ages 5 to 9.
