About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is feeling overwhelmed by 'scary' first impressions or when you want to use laughter to diffuse a fear of the unknown. It is a fantastic tool for kids who are beginning to experiment with wordplay and need a gentle reminder that things are not always as frightening as they seem. This whimsical story follows a town in a full-blown panic as a giant Tyrannosaurus rex stomps toward them. While the people, animals, and even inanimate objects flee in hilarious ways, the ending reveals a silly twist: this dino is only interested in a healthy snack. It is an ideal choice for 4 to 8-year-olds, blending high-energy humor with a lesson on checking the facts before letting fear take over. Parents will appreciate how the clever puns build vocabulary and turn a potentially 'scary' monster encounter into a lighthearted celebration of fruit.
