Praise for Tea Rex by Molly Idle:

"Sure to be enjoyed by tea-party enthusiasts, and even dino fans with no use for a teapot will find themselves drawn to this clever tale of a not-entirely-civilized beast of the past." Kirkus

Idle has a gift for comic composition...Publishers Weekly

"The tension between the text and illustrations provides much to amuse the youngest tea-party hosts."School Library Journal

"A fine example of how words and pictures can lock horns to charming effect."Booklist

Author Bio

Molly Idle takes her tea with milk (no sugar) and will always accept the offer of a slice of chocolate cake to go with it. Just about any time but tea time, she can be found at her desk pouring over stacks of drawings, or running amok after her two very special boys. She and her family live in Tempe, Arizona.
