FREE TOMMYSAURUS REX PDF Doug Tennapel | 136 pages | 01 Sep 2013 | Scholastic US | 9780545483834 | English | New York, United States Tommysaurus Rex by Doug TenNapel According to Robert Mash, author of How to Keep DinosaursTyrannosaurus rex is the antithesis of everything a good pet should be. Insult is added to emotional injury when a gang of bullies assaults Ely, but he quickly finds a new friend and protector. Naturally, the Tyrannosaurus immediately shows off why big, carnivorous dinosaurs Tommysaurus Rex not make good pets. The predator gobbles up a cow, plows through fences, gives a few houses some impromptu remodeling, and leaves king-sized piles of dino scat all over the local park. Fortunately Tommysaurus Rex Ely, though, the mayor and other townsfolk allow the dinosaur to stay, Tommysaurus Rex long as Tommysaurus Rex boy provides Tommysaurus Rex better training for the prehistoric beast. Almost everyone seems mollified, save for one spiky-haired bully who has it out for Ely and his dinosaur. But the story is not really about what it would be like to keep a Tyrannosaurus as Tommysaurus Rex pet. The dinosaur is one big MacGuffin —an object that keeps the story moving along as the main characters develop. The dinosaur is there to teach Ely about loss, responsibility and, ultimately, sacrifice as his relationship with the town bully changes. There are a few cute moments specific to the dinosaur—legendary stop-motion film artist Ray Harryhausen makes a cameo to sketch the tyrannosaur—but the story is about Ely beginning to gain some emotional maturity more than a fantastical tale of a life with a dinosaur. Of course, a few embellishments were needed to make Tommysaurus Rex carnivorous dinosaur a sympathetic character; for instance, the eyes Tommysaurus Rex brow ridges of the dinosaur move to give the gargantuan pet emotional depth. Tommysaurus Rex is not a detailed exploration of what it would be like to keep a pet Tyrannosaurus. A flash of teeth, a Tommysaurus Rex, and the book would have been finished.
