The Littlest Dinosaur
Publication Date: November 2nd, 2020
Genre: Children’s Literature
Illustrator: Tessa Verplancke
Synopsis
Ty, The Tyrannosaur just wants to make a new friend.
Sadly, the other dinosaurs are all afraid of his sharp teeth! So Ty must go on an adventure to find a dinosaur brave enough to be friends with a Tyrannosaur.
My Thoughts
I read this book twice because I couldn’t figure out how I felt about it. It’s definitely a cute book, it’s quick and I love the message. It’s very simple to read for adults but I can see kids having a hard time pronouncing some of the words. I love the illustrations as well. They were simple and cute and colorful. So overall it was a really good book. For me there was one thing I couldn’t get past and that was the reasoning behind why Ty the Tyrannosaur wouldn’t eat the other dinosaurs. Kids won’t know the difference but I do. It’s a silly thing to get hung up on and I know that. Everyone has been loving this book and I totally get why they do so if you want to read this please don’t let my review keep you from reading it because it really was a cute read. I originally gave this book a 3.5 star rating but after thinking on it some more I bumped it up to a 4.

This does look really cute! I don’t know if I’d worry about the words too much–when I was in grade three I already knew what a paleontologist was because I may have been a bit obsessed with dinosaurs LOL.
