Trouble At the Dinosaur Cafe by Brian Moses, Illustrated by Garry Parsons


An angry T-Rex comes into the happy Dinosaur Cafe and decides that he wants to eat the other dinosaurs. But Terry Triceratops saves the day!! This book is hilarious and reminds me of a western shoot-out. The illustrations are amazing and your child will ask to read this book again and again. I am a firm believer that illustrations need to be just as strong as the story in picture books in order to grab and sustain your child's attention. I think this book will be good for demonstrating sequencing when the time comes for Ricky. If your child is working with Sequencing activities in pre-school or kindergarten, this story has good examples of cause/effect relationships. If your child likes dinosaurs, add this book to your list!
