Tyrannosaurus Wrecks!: A Preschool Story
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. Rexs biggest messes. Praise for Tyrannosaurus Wrecks Punchy writing, an equally in-your-face palette, and OHoras characteristically brash painting style make this as much a stompalong as a readaloud. --Publishers Weekly Along with the pleasure of pronouncing those multisyllabic dino names, young audiences may find food for thought in the behavioral dynamics on display. --Kirkus Reviews Warmly colored with childlike bodies and emotive faces, Ohoras dinosaurs are among the cutest you will come across in childrens books. --Booklist The brief rhyming text, which scans well, tells a story with child appeal. There is a good balance of two-to-three word sentences with large, uncluttered illustrations, making the book a good choice for reading aloud. In their simplicity, the brightly colored pictures have the look of childrens art, but they enhance the classroom setting appropriately with interesting details. --School Library Journal The shapely dinos, whose rough charcoal-style outlines and strong colors vividly contrast with the white or sometimes black backgrounds, are chunky and friendly in an eight-crayon-box color scheme and snazzy Peanuts-reminiscent outfits. --Bulletin of the Center for Childrens Books Together the chanting rhythm, ragged lines, and setting of an un-chaperoned dinosaur class create a satisfyingly high-energy, primal read-aloud strongly reminiscent of Bob Sheas 'Dinosaur vs.' series. --The Horn Book Magazine
