Tyrannosaurus Wrecks! by Sudipta Bardhan-Quallen, illustrated by Zachariah Ohora
Tyrannousaurus Wrecks by Sudipta Bardhan-Quallen with great illustrations by Zachariah Ohora is an awesomely colorful, dinosaur filled wreck of a book. Well, the book isn't actually a wreck, but Tyrannosaurus makes a mess wherever he goes in the classroom.
Like all the best dinosaur picture books, Tyrannousaurus Wrecks uses the endpapers to identify and give phonetic pronunciations for all the dinosaurs appearing on the pages inside. We parents thank you heartily for knowing that little listeners love to learn the names of the dinosaurs.
The plot of Tyrannousaurus Wrecks is pretty straightforward. Apatosaurus colors, Pteradon inspects, Velociraptor glitters but . . . Tyrannosaurus wrecks. I love how Ohora shows Tyrannosaurus's head peeking out from the corner of the illustrations, the slant of his eyebrow showing that he's ready to make trouble.

Don't miss Zachariah Ohora's excellent book, Stop Snoring, Bernard! about an otter who loves his home and loves his neighbors, but just can't find a place to sleep and keep from bothering everyone else.
