T-Veg
Illustrator: Katherina ManolessouSurely, not a vegetarian T-Rex? This is a tale of Reginald, a carrot-crunching dinosaur, fierce and mighty, a stomper, a gnasher of teeth. But come time to eat, he seeks out broccoli, beans; garlic, grapes and greens. Mama and Papa T-Rex react with moans and groans. “You should be eating meat, MEAT, MEAT!” At school he is taunted and laughed at, told he is not a T-Rex at all, but Tyrannosoarus VEG! Unhappy Reginald decides to leave his family and team up with other herbivores, but is horrified when they are all scared of him and run away. How to resolve this?? A surprise outcome, for the creatures do realise that the difference between Reginald and all the other T-Rexes means nothing. Having the courage just to be oneself is the bravest thing to do, and this book helps readers think about that. In colourful joy the hardback cover and following pages just glow with reds, oranges, and greens, in a jumble of dinosaurs, fruits and veg. This is a thoughtful book to celebrate differences, presented with ever popular dinosaurs.
