England, Kathryn & Redlich, Ben. T-rex's terrible tooth, Mascot, N.S.W. : Koala books, 2010.
Tyrone is a young T-rex with a problem - a touchy, tender tooth - he finds chewing meat very painful. So, Tyrone stops eating! He becomes famished and extremely distressed; however, a friendly brontosaurus suggests a change of diet. Will Tyrone live happily ever after as a vegetarian? Kathryn England sustains rhyming couplets throughout the narrative which provides a rhythmical pace while the tone is ironic. Ben Redlich's illustrations are bold, cartoon-like drawings that are colourful and reminiscent of great animation. This book has an ending with a twist that is suitable for school-age children. (Age 5-7 years, Theme - Dental hygiene and diet)
