A just-hatched dinosaur declares a terrifying tyrannosaurus "Dada!" When the tyrannosaurus reminds Rex that he's not his real father, Rex slips away to find where he really belongs. Rex escapes hungry predators using the roar he learned from the big dinosaur, and a true family bond is formed. This warm father-and-son adventure has an exciting plot; expressive watercolor and ink illustrations keep the action nonthreatening.
