Title: King Ron of the Triceratops
Description: A T-Rex, king of the Triceratops? As a Tyrannosaurus egg, Ron rolled into a Triceratops nest. He grew up calling Little T his brother and became king of the Triceratops with the promise: "Trixies first!" When things go sour in this dinosaur fable, Little T has to decide where his loyalty lies. Atmospheric illustrations and building tension capped off by action make King Ron of the Triceratops accessible to children considerably younger than its nominal grade level. A first-grader reading above his grade level can tackle the book (pegged at grade four) on his own. King Ron of the Triceratops includes a little explanatory ditty for those who like their parables and fables explained. The song notation includes chords for an accompanist.
