T. Rex tries to put a bright-eyed and positive spin on his reputation. It’s not his fault he can’t eat trees. He had a mother too and was once small and cute. He didn’t necessarily plan to grow up to be big and scary.

David de Vries does a good job of voicing the apologetic enormous carnivore, and the music by Scotty Huff and Robert Reynolds is an excellent match for McCarty's soft, shaded, color pencil illustrations in the book it accompanies.
