You Look Yummy by Tatsuya Miyanishi
/Tyrannosaurus Rex gets more than he bargained for when he picks a little Ankylosaurus for a snack.
Tatsuya Miyanishi's little book is wonderful. I can think of so many situations that it would be perfect for, not to mention it would definitely spark conversations between kids and their parents. The illustrations remind me of a combination of my own child-like dinosaur drawings and Godzilla, big rounded bodies with triangle spikes. (All dinosaurs had triangle spikes; everyone knows that.) Most kids like dinosaurs (I would say all but I can think of a few people off the top of my head who have confessed to me their lifelong fear and hatred of dinosaurs) so what better way to talk about parents and children and their relationships. (Those of you who have been traumatized by dinosaurs, I'll give you a book about bears or something.) Two thumbs up.
