There are a few important things to know when you're taking care of your pet T-Rex: What does it like to eat How do you brush its many teeth And most of all, how do you show it that you care about it Follow the daily adventures of Buddy and his owner as they learn the how-tos of dinosaur care and the value of friendship. A Christy Ottaviano Book
"Baker offers general guidance on how to keep a dino-pet (or many other sorts) fed, clean, and well-behaved . . . In loosely drawn cartoon scenes the illustrator tucks an inconspicuously diverse cast of small human figures--the children excited, the grown-ups mildly dismayed--around a humongous green Tyrannosaurus rex. A playful twist on an ever popular theme."--Kirkus Reviews
"Readers learn a T-Rex's top speed and how the size of his tail and arms can have their pros and cons . . . Useful for those with pets or those who love funny dinosaur stories."--School Library Journal
