Both kids were instantly drawn to this book with its vibrant illustrations & charming story. They happily pored over the cover & end papers spotting the different vegetables and chuckled at the idea of a t-rex not eating meat. However my hope that seeing their favourite dinosaur eating a massive slice of avocado pie would entice them to be more adventurous has not been met!

T-Veg a ‘carrot crunching dinosaur’ is teased by his friends for his vegetarian ways and runs away to make friends with some herbivores but this doesn’t go to plan. Its not long, however, before his friends begin to miss him & when he reappears to save the day everyone learns the important lesson of ‘being happy being you’.

This jewel of a book exploding with colour & warmth has been a hit with the children. The story told in rhyme is a joy to read aloud. The pages, teeming with brightly coloured dinosaurs, are captivating and the heartwarming message is an important one to remember.
