{"product_id":"tyrannosaurus-wrecks-a-preschool-story-9781419733222","title":"Tyrannosaurus Wrecks!: A Preschool Story","description":"In this read-along picture book, a classroom full of young dinosaurs plays with toys, does art projects, and reads books. But each activity is another opportunity for the over-enthusiastic Tyrannosaurus Rex to wreak havoc. Parents and young children will love the call-and-response nature of the book, and young dinosaur fans will appreciate the listing (and pronunciation guide) for a dozen different dino species. The format is extra vertical in order to accommodate T. Rex's biggest messes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eTyrannosaurus Wrecks\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"Punchy writing, an equally in-your-face palette, and OHora's characteristically brash painting style make this as much a stompalong as a readaloud.\"\u003cbr\u003e --\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"\u003c\/i\u003eAlong with the pleasure of pronouncing those multisyllabic dino names, young audiences may find food for thought in the behavioral dynamics on display.\"\u003cbr\u003e --\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"Warmly colored with childlike bodies and emotive faces, Ohora's dinosaurs are among the cutest you will come across in children's books.\"\u003cbr\u003e --\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"\u003c\/i\u003eThe brief rhyming text, which scans well, tells a story with child appeal.
