Cutest book ever! There’s dinosaurs and there’s a chicken. Who do you want to win?

Just seeing the title, and knowing it's a children's picture book, I was fairly certain about how it would likely turn out. And I was right. But even though it was kind of predictable, it was no less enjoyable! The images are colorful and detailed. The humor great. The only thing is there was a dinosaur name I had not come across before, so I would need to research the pronunciation before reading it aloud to a kid. Though, I did think that was awesome they used the full names of the dinosaurs!

I really enjoyed this. It's a David and Goliath/chicken or the egg story that is funny and would make for a great read-aloud. When it comes to dinosaur books, I'm very particular about whether or not it is obvious which scientific names are associated with which dinosaur, and this is a rare case where it's easy to tell what dinosaur is the parasaurolaphous, the ankylosaurus, and the triceratops. The author's note at the book's end it short and sweet, explaining that chickens are living dinosaurs, that a dinosaur probably didn't really beat a T-Rex in a fight, and that some dinosaurs definitely had feathers (contrary to many renderings of dinosaurs). I will use this book at work for sure.

Hilarious and timely. Edna the chicken isn't afraid of the biggest and meanest dinosaur in the forest. My kids and I laughed and I would recommend it for you dino lovers out there.

A super funny book that would be lots of fun to read aloud to elementary children. T-Rex comes crashing through trying to scare everyone but Edna stands her ground and scares T-Rex away. The ending was silly but I really appreciated the note at the end of the book stating there was no actual fights between T-Rex and chickens.

This book was a giggle a minute! Edna gives all she's got and takes on T-rex! A funny take on birds evolving from theropods...which is the group T-rex belonged to. The littles will love it, but be ready for your dino masters to ask questions. A hoot!

Seriously hilarious! This book explains why there are no more T-Rexs but plenty of chickens in the world. Silly and fun. It would be a good story time book.
