Young Emily is upset that her Dad is too busy to play, so she stomps into her snowy backyard and starts sculpting Grizzle, a snowy, hungry Tyrannosaurus rex. She feeds more and more snow food to Grizzle - but Grizzle's appetite never abates; what if he finds her Dad to be a tasty snack? An enthusiastically whimsical wintertime story.
