Little Rex, Big Brother

(4) PS Illustrated by Sean Julian. Though everyone calls him Little Rex, a young dinosaur longs to be big and ferocious; brightly colored, amiable illustrations further belie his claim of fierceness. Instead of pointy teeth, sharp claws, and loud roars, it's the hatching of new siblings that helps him really grow up. Though the story's ending is abrupt, young readers may identify with the big-hearted little dino.
