Tyrannosaurus Rex vs. Edna the Very First Chicken

40 pp. | Holt | September, 2017 | Trade ISBN 978-1-62779-510-4 $17.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jed Henry. Despite a Tyrannosaurus rex's fearsome reputation, he is no match for Edna, the world's first chicken. "I am small and brave and you should be afraid of me," declares Edna. A slapstick narrative--complete with guttural sounds ("Ughk. Oookh. Eegh")--plays well with Henry's digital-watercolor illustrations; see especially Edna pecking and clawing her way out of the T. rex's large mouth.
