T-Wreck-Asaurus by Kyle Mewburn
Ill. Donovan Bixley. Dinosaur Rescue Series. Scholastic, 2011. ISBN:
9781775430193.
What do you do when you are a caveman - or boy - with a brain
that is twice the size of anyone else's? This is the somewhat
perplexing problem of Arg, a cave boy with intelligence surrounded
by Neanderthals. He lives with his mum, dad, sister and pet
dinosaur Krrk-Krrk in a modest cave where he has his own room which
is full of his inventions.
When a scary T-Rex makes its way to Arg's village and threatens his
family and friends, it is up to him to use his superior intelligence
to save the day. When Arg solves the dinosaur's problem, he
discovers a secret place and another even bigger secret about the
dinosaur.
A book full of toilet humour and bodily secretions bound to appeal -
especially to early primary to middle primary boys who may be
reluctant readers. Illustrations compliment the text and
provide further interest and disgusting detail in some parts.
