Tyrannosaurus Rex vs. Edna, The Very First Chicken by Jed Henry, Douglas Rees

4.0

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.
