Unwrapping the story

Most kids love stories about powerful mighty dinosaurs.  Many years ago dinosaurs roamed the world and they presented themselves in various forms and sizes and spoke different languages.  

This story is about a Tapejara who duped a Tyrannosaurus during a very cold, long and snowy winter. He used trickery to lure this mammoth giant into a safer place, or so the Tyrannosaurus thought. Thinking this would lead to a lush green forest and away from the brutal weather he was experiencing, Tyrannosaurus follows his deceptive guide on a gruelling journey and collapses from hunger and fatigue along the way.  The wicked Tapejara delights in the fact that his captive is dead and tries to eat him.  The Tyrannosaurus has one last burst of strength and swings his gigantic tail which sends his foe twirling and spinning far far away into the distance.  

Tyrannosaurus sees the promised forest ahead and drags himself there.  He encounters three small Homalocephales who speak a different language.  It's fun that the author creates their language by spelling English words backwards.  I like that part a lot.  They take it upon themselves to nurse the ailing dinosaur back to good health and in so doing a deep bond of friendship forms.  Tyrannosaurus spends time trying to teach the three his language which almost causes their demise.  

The illustrations are bold, colourful and full of emotion and activity.  This heartwarming book teaches that love can overcome barriers and differences.  Their love for each other is communicated through actions rather than words.  It is heart-to-heart rather than verbal.  I think kids will like this book a lot and I recommend it and all the others in the series.
