Dinosaur fan Ruth Ann visits the "Cretaceous Surprises" exhibit at the museum and meets a T. rex who's a vegetarian--apparently he's just too nice a guy to kill anything. The story won't please kids who know their dino facts, and vegetarian readers won't necessarily relate to the big and brave veggie dinosaur either. Neubecker's brightly colored, humorous illustrations accompany this cheery but confusing story.
