Books like Tyrannosaurus Drip

Highly entertaining dino-spin on the "Ugly Duckling" tale, this story features the placid, water-dwelling, vegetarian duckbill dinosaurs and the mean, meat-eating, sinister T-Rex dinosaurs (cliched, yes, but oh well) who wish they could cross the river to eat the duckbills. When a hungry Compy steals a duckbill egg and accidentally drops it near the T-Rex nest, confusion and much angst ensues. In the end, the poor little "Tyrannosaurus Drip" gets a chance to prove himself to his true family and become a hero. The illustrations are fun and the rhyme scheme is engaging. I think children who like dinosaurs will really enjoy the tale, especially if they are already familiar with "The Ugly Duckling" and are "in the know" on where this story is headed.
