Description
Meet Rex and his dinosaur crew - they're here to help you handle everyday toddler challenges!
Rex is a spirited, curious little dinosaur with four older friends who are a guiding influence in his life. In Big Like You, Rex sets out to discover how he can become as big, strong, fast and smart as his pals. One by one they explain that eating their favourite superfoods might be the answer. He won't find out unless he tries them, so he does. Enter Big T, Rex's grandpa and hero, who is always a source of encouragement and love. He reminds Rex that if he continues to eat well, he might just become as magnificent as his grandpa!
Packed with interactive fun - lift-the-flaps, and 'opening eye' pop, and a big pop-up ending - Big Like You keeps toddlers aged 2 to 4 engaged while gently encouraging positive behaviours. The text has rhyme and repetition, playful dialogue and familiar themes, which make it a book you'll enjoy reading together again and again.
