"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
