Rex cover

From the perennially popular author-illustrator Simon James, comes a heart-warming, funny story about being a dinosaur step-dad.

For kids who love dinosaurs – Rex is the story of becoming a dino step-dad by the ever-popular author-illustrator Simon James. Once upon 100 million years ago a terrifying tyrannosaurus roamed the earth. He spent his days raging through the jungle scaring every dinosaur he saw with his fierce roar. One night, while he is sleeping, an abandoned egg cracks open and what should pop out but a teeny-weeny baby dino who immediately thinks that the T-Rex is his dad! And so begins the touching, funny story of a little newborn dino and his adopted daddy... A perfect book for dads and their little ones to share together.

“A graphic designer by trade, Simon has been writing beautifully illustrated books for kids for years. Rex is about a scary tyrannosaurus who terrifies all his fellow dinosaurs. Then one day he finds an egg in his cave. To his surprise a tiny dinosaur pops out and Rex becomes a step-dad! Their special relationship is at the heart of this lovely book.” * Hampshire Style *
