I read this book together with my son, who actually has outgrown picture books, but of course was attracted by the dinosaur theme. We both enjoyed the story very much, and after finishing the book he demanded that I read it again. He even asked several questions and started a little discussion
The chomping and scratching and talk about eating the baby dinosaurs may be considered too aggressive by some readers, but it was described and illustrated in the mildest manner possible. I'd say only very sensible or very young children who are not yet aware that some animals eat other animals may have a problem with that.
The illustrations were very colorful and the style original and different from the usual picture books, which made a nice change. The morale of the story was not given literally, but nicely wrapped in a more subtle way, still obvious enough for a kid to easily figure it out. A story that will not only appeal to little dinosaur fans.

This is the third book about Tyrannosaurus that I have read by Tatsuya Miyanishi and I did not like it as well as the others, even though the message was still a good one.

most important thing in the world. When gets old, he is no longer strong or fast. He is attacked by other dinosaurs and is left injured. A baby Triceratops finds him and takes him to meet his friends. He does not realize that this is the mean, vicious Tyrannosaurus. He becomes friends with the baby Triceratops and all his friends. When they are attacked by other dinosaurs, he curls around them and protects them at risk to himself. He realized that Love is the most important thing. The one thing I did not like about this book is that it is extremely violent. I know that dinosaurs killed and ate one another but for a children's book, that is one thing that I think could have been toned down a bit. The illustrations are very cartoonish, but they really work in this book. The publisher generously provided me with an advance copy of this book via Netgalley. Show Less
