Tadpole Rex, written/illus. by Kurt Cyrus, (Harcourt Children's Books, 2008), 40p, Ages 3-7.
A Tyrannosaurus Rex tromps through a swamp leaving muddy footprints and watery bubbles, which is a perfect place for a tiny polliwog to grow. Protected from predators, the little tike begins to develop physically, but "somewhere inside him deep in his core,/there slumbered an inner tyrannosaur." Unfortunately, Rex doesn't understand that he lives in a prehistoric swamp and will never become a dinosaur. Nevertheless, he does possess a huge personality, and with a mighty "Ribbet" Rex takes on the mighty dinosaurs. However, "Gone are the dinosaurs./Gone are the stompers, the rippers, the roarers, the bone-crunching chompers./Gone are the dinosaurs, swept away. . . ./But hoppers and croakers are here to stay." The scratchboard and watercolor oversized illustrations combine with science and a rhyming text to make this a delightful read-aloud. A Note from the Author presents additional information on the development of frogs from plant-eaters to meat eaters, clarifies that they predate dinosaurs by 100 million years, and explains the many new environmental challenges that frogs face.
