I'm Bad! by Jim McMullan, Kate McMullan
4.0
The creators of I Stink and I'm Dirty, the stories of a garbage truck and backhoe respectively, now turn away from trucks and to another very popular subject: dinosaurs! Here we meet a T-Rex with plenty of attitude, showing off his huge teeth, big claws, stomping feet. But he becomes less impressive as he tries again and again to catch something to eat. It takes his much larger mother dino to come to the rescue with "takeout."
In this book the McMullans continue their trade-mark dialogue style that will have readers flexing, brandishing and showing off with abandon. It is impossible to read their books aloud without style and a new persona. This makes them not only great fun to read aloud, but mesmerizing for audiences. Equally successful are the illustrations that fairly pop from the page with greens, oranges, blues and plenty of action too. The words and illustrations have obviously been created together because they work effortlessly together.
Highly recommended as a staple in your dinosaur story times or units. Appropriate for ages 3-6.
