Reviews

"[Tiny T. Rex and the Very Dark Dark] captures how many children feel about the dark. It's a great way to open up conversation about this issue and help them deal with it. The text is clear and appealing. Young listeners will enjoy the elaborate plans the friends go through to conquer their problem. A great read-aloud for little ones--and not just those who are afraid of the dark."--School Library Journal

"[Tiny T. Rex and the Very Dark Dark] charmingly taps into a common childhood fear and offers playful solutions. There's not much to be afraid of in Fleck's blocky, glowing illustrations of the two pals, and readers with similar worries will soon find theirs alleviated."--Booklist

"As in Tiny T. Rex and the Impossible Hug (2019), Fleck and Stutzman really bring the cute... Tiny's superserious narration carries the adorableness with ease... [Tiny T. Rex and the Very Dark Dark is assuring promise for timorous toddlers with special squishes of their own."--Kirkus Reviews
