Our Review

A determined T. rex takes center stage in this clever prehistoric twist on a beloved nursery rhyme, attempting the spider's iconic climb with predictably disastrous and hilarious results. When the itsy bitsy dino's grand ambition leads to a waterspout catastrophe, the story pivots into a gentle lesson about finding one's own path. The rhyming text maintains the familiar, comforting rhythm parents know, while the dinosaur theme delivers the roaring adventure young children crave. This board book masterfully blends a classic sing-along experience with a fresh, funny narrative about self-discovery.

What sets this story apart is its focus on problem-solving and embracing one's unique strengths, a wonderful message for preschoolers navigating their own capabilities. The charming dino character's journey from failed climber to finding a perfectly suited activity provides a fantastic conversation starter about trying new things. Dinosaur-loving toddlers will be thoroughly engaged by the silly predicament and the satisfying conclusion where the T. rex finds his true calling. It’s a heartwarming read-aloud that turns a nursery standard into a memorable tale of resilience and individuality.
