Will you know what to do if an uninvited T. Rex shows up for your birthday party? A T. Rex who STOMPS and ROARS and … keeps looking at you like he’s wondering how you’d taste with a little mustard? Read this book, and you’ll be ready. You might even look forward to the day it happens to you.


“Playful, doodlelike illustrations capture the curiosity of a silly scenario that turns out to be equal parts poignant and giggle-worthy. Evenly dispersed pictures and text punctuate the antics of the dinosaur and his human partygoer buddies, creating a hullabaloo that ends with a sweet, surprising twist. . . . Reading this crowd-pleaser aloud may cause clamorous laughter in even the most serious of storytime attendees.” —School Library Journal
