A TALL TEXAS TALE FOR YOUNGSTERS

When a critter halfway as high as Butterfly Butte comes upon some cowboys and their chuck wagon, he devours not only the beans but the pot, too. Now, that's an appetite. This rip-roarin' saga about the unlikely alliance between the giant Tex and the cowboys will keep children smiling. Together, they outsmart the rustlers. Then, "with a trembling of the tumbleweed," the giant of the prairie is gone. But, not forgotten.

Lots of fun

Tyrannosaurus Tex is my 4 1/2 year old daughter's favorite book. The story and illustrations are wonderful and the combination of dinosaurs and cowboys is ingenious.

My son's favorite book!

My son & I found this in the library and subsequently bought our own copy, we love it so much. A lot of fun, especially when Tex arrives and eats the pot of beans, pot and all!

Friendly T-Rex meets cowboys in the old west.

A wonderful book. I read it to my son every night until we had to return it to the library. Get a copy to keep for any three year old who's into dinosaurs.
