Fun book! Silly as can be. ( )

It's the start of the summer season, and Ava and Mickey's Uncle Otto is having a sale at his car lot. At first it seems that no one is coming, but then a series of dinosaur customers appear, much to Uncle Otto's dismay. Fortunately, Ava and Mickey, being well-versed in paleontology, know just which vehicle to pair with which dinosaur. They even find the perfect fit for a T-Rex...

What Kind of Car Does a T. Rex Drive? is a fun new picture-book from author Mark Lee and illustrator Brian Briggs, one which will have appeal for young dinosaur lovers, as well as vehicle enthusiasts. These are both frequent requests - books about cars and trains, or about dinosaurs - that I get at work, so it's nice to have a title that fills both needs. I'm familiar with Briggs from his Tinyville Town books, and think this one will also have appeal for fans of his humorous cartoon-style artwork. I don't know that it really made a strong impression on me, but I do think What Kind of Car Does a T. Rex Drive? will make for an entertaining summer picture-book. ( )
