Reach for this book when your child feels like their family life doesn't quite match the 'normal' image of others, or when a parent's work schedule makes them feel a bit distant. This whimsical story explores the relationship between Tobias and his father, who happens to be a literal Tyrannosaurus Rex. While Dad is often preoccupied with his busy office job and feels out of place at school functions, the story beautifully captures the moment he steps up to protect his son from a bully. It is a heartwarming choice for children ages 4 to 8 who are navigating feelings of embarrassment, the desire for parental attention, and the ultimate realization that their parents' 'differences' can actually be their greatest strengths. It serves as a gentle reminder that even the busiest or most unusual parents have a prehistoric-sized love for their kids.
