Written and Illustrated by Molly Idle
Who wouldn’t want to have a tea party with a T-Rex? With extreme opposites of gentile, proper tea parties and the enormous king of the dinosaurs, Tea Rex is a delightfully funny book! The soft color pictures are amazing as they compliment and add to the story as well. This book is sure to be a favorite among the 3-5 year olds and really anyone who loves a humorous story. This is one of the best picture books I have read this year.

I love the ironic interplay of the dry, “instructive” text and the absolute mayhem going on in the illustrations. Very well done.
