T-Veg

Dinosaurs are an always-popular subject that never fails to get young readers excited.

Reginald is a perfectly normal T-rex. He stomps around the jungle. He has a fierce and mighty roar. He gnashes his big, scary teeth. There’s just one thing that sets him apart… he’s a vegetarian! After the other T-rexes are mean to him – calling him ‘T-Veg’ and saying he’s not a proper T-rex, Reg sets out to live life as a herbivore. But when his friends and family get into trouble, Reg is called upon to save the day… This lively, kaleidoscopic tale of a dinosaur who dares to be different shows the youngest prehistoric animal lovers that the best thing in the world is being happy being yourself.
