Chloe Sanders

A little boy and his dinosaur get ready for bed. The T-Rex has other plans that make a mess of things. The little boy then shows his friend what fun getting ready for bed can be.

My T-Rex Gets A Bath is very similar to another Chloe Sanders book Goodnight, Monster!. I found this one more enjoyable because the prose did not throw me out of the story try to always find the right rhyming scheme.

Because the story is very similar to Sanders other story affected my rating of the book. Sometimes it seemed like the same book but different drawings.

I think the artwork is cute and it is a book little dinosaur lovers with enjoy.… (mehr)

A boy tries to convince his mother of a monster living under his bed. Boy and monster become friends and enjoy a bedtime routine.

Colorful art and sometimes charming prose are enough to make you not see the few flaws. I love the idea. Kinda looks inspired by Monsters Inc. and I don’t know anyone who dislikes that movie.

The book starts with a rhyming pattern that disappears a page or two in and then goes back to rhyming. That takes the reader out of the story. I was also a little confused about how much time was taking place. The monster and boy are in taking a bath, then they are in the bedroom and then they are taking a bath again. Does this story take place over a few days or just one day?

I really did enjoy the art and the parts of the story that rhymed and flowed well. Sometimes you don’t need to rhyme to write children books many do not rhyme. Although this story would have been better if it stuck with rhyming throughout.… (mehr)
