With Real Letters to Read!
Chae Strathie, Illustrations by Nicola O’Byrne - All books by this author
Get ready for a ROARSOME time! When Max visits a local museum, he wishes he could ask the dinosaurs a bunch of questions. Since the museum is about to close, the curator (Dinosaur Dora) says, “Why don’t you write our T. Rex a letter? He might even write back.” And so begins a pen pal relationship unlike all others. At first, T. Rex’s letters make him seem like a big, toothy tough guy who’s too busy to write friendly letters to tasty little humans. But once Max and T. Rex start trading letters, they share funny jokes, silly facts, a baby tooth, rubber duckies, and more. This unlikely duo soon embark on an unusual friendship that spans the ages…and even includes very real cards and letters to open. (Ages 3–8)

About The Illustrator:

In Emilee's opinion:
Dear Dinosaur is a child's book of real letters from one child to a dinosaur. It was fabulous! Of course I loved it because I also loved Chae Strathie's other book, Gorilla Loves Vanilla. The illustrations were bright and cheerful. My children and I really got into this fun book. I definitely recommend it to all families. You will love everything about it.
