This is a cute picture book (and apparently part of a series in Japan) in which a Tyrannosaurus Rex is on the verge of devouring a baby ankylosaurus when the little dinosaur calls the T-Rex "Daddy" and, of course, this melts the big dinosaurs heart. This short volume is brilliantly colored and

The illustrations are very cartoonish, but they really work in this book.

He saves him from other meat-eaters as well as teaching him everything he knows, ramming, roaring, tail swinging etc. And the ending... totally adorable! It's sweet and I can't think of any child who wouldn't love it.The illustrations are very cartoonish, but they really work in this book.

Fans of anthropomorphic dinosaur stories, rejoice! Acclaimed Japanese author/illustrator Tatsuya Miyanishi's multi-volume picture-book series about the adventures of a Tyrannosaurus Rex has been (partially) translated. In this first installment, a tiny Ankylosaurus hatches against the backdrop of
Although Miyanishi has been quite popular in his native Japan for some years, he seems only recently to have begun to be translated into English. You Look Yummy!, published here in New York in 2015, was originally released in Japan in 2003. I'm glad that Museyon, who also published the adorable Kuma-Kuma Chan books, has begun to make his work available in the states! I found the story here unexpectedly endearing, and although the artwork didn't really speak to me, when I first picked it up, I eventually found it quite appealing. Bold, eye-popping colors and stylized figures (note: these dinosaurs are not "realistically" depicted!) are paired with an unexpectedly sweet story. I had a lump in my throat when I came to the conclusion, and immediately wanted to pick up the second book, You Are My Best Friend. Recommended to anyone who is in the market for less realistic dinosaur stories for the picture-books set.

Imprinting on the T-Rex, little Yummy adores his adoptive father who, seeing himself through the eyes of an innocent and trusting being, protects and nurtures this young dinosaur, so unlike himself. When he has taught Yummy everything he can, our Tyrannosaurus hero does the best thing he can... and sends him off to the care of some adult Ankylosauruses...Although Miyanishi has been quite popular in his native Japan for some years, he seems only recently to have begun to be translated into English.
