Reach for this book when your child is going through a phase of big-headedness or bossy play, needing a gentle reminder that even the mightiest conquerors are still little kids who need their parents. Rex is a six-year-old living on a space farm who is certain he is destined to rule the galaxy. He spends his days building robots and plotting his rise to power, but when his intergalactic schemes actually work and things spiral out of control, he realizes he is in way over his head. It is a hilarious, visually stunning story that validates a child's massive imagination while providing the safety net of a mother's unconditional love. It perfectly balances themes of budding independence with the comforting reality of being cared for. Parents will appreciate how it models an apology and the idea that having a big ego is okay, as long as you know when to come home for dinner.
