Plot Summary

"I'm not little, I'm BIG!" Rex shouted.

Rex wants to be the biggest, scariest, loudest dinosaur in the whole world, but everyone keeps calling him "little" Rex. Well, perhaps not quite EVERYONE.

At last he finds someone to look up to him--when he becomes a big brother!

Reviews

"There is nothing at all scary about Julian’s marshmallowy, anthropomorphized dinosaurs, especially beady-eyed little Rex. The bright colors, large spreads and dinosaur theme have appeal for the target audience." Kirkus Reviews

"Illustrations show the lovable Rex attempting to be scary and failing until the final picture, where he is happily playing with his new siblings. The bright and cheerful cartoon artwork, which depicts a very likable dino, makes this a good title for storyhour sharing. Of course, there are many books on big brothers, but this one has dinos and a nice tone about it." School Library Journal
