After a trip to the museum, Max writes a letter to his favourite

and T. Rex learn about each other’s lives, a very unusual friendship
develops in this funny and touching story from an award-winning
duo.

Dinosaur fans will love this interactive picture book with letters and cards to open, and dinosaur facts to discover along the way.

I like it because it was about a dinosaur in the museum. He wrote a letter to a boy called Max and the dinosaur didn’t have a name. He was a big dinosaur.

This book is really good. There are lots of little letters and postcards and invitations in the book. The story is about a boy called max and he writes to a dinosaur from the museum and the T rex writes back to him.

I really liked that the T-Rex is wiring to Max & I liked the bit where he says, “I don’t write letters to small children, I eat them!” I also like it when Max asks the T-Rex the best place to find bones & fossils.

The triceratops wearing a tutu was funny. I did not know that t-Rex could write letters. My favourite character was the t-Rex because he had a birthday. It is an exciting book for anyone to read.

I really enjoyed reading the letters, especially from the T-Rex. The end of the book, it was funny seeing the triceratops in a tutu, the t-rex with a rubber duck and the little dinosaur with Max's tooth in its mouth

I loved this book because there were letters and postcards to open up and read. I also liked how the Triceratops wore a tutu. My favourite character was Max because he was a kind, little boy who loved dinosaurs. I would definitely recommend this story because it is a good story with interesting pictures.
