You Look Yummy! [Hardcover]

This sweet tale about the love between father and son is the first in a tremendously popular Tyrannosaurus series in 12 titles to date, with combined sales in excess of 3 million copies in Japan, China, Korea, Taiwan and France. 

 

A long, long time ago, a baby Ankylosaurus is born on a volcano erupting ground. As the little Ankylosaurus begins wandering around, a big Tyrannosaurus comes along. He is about to pounce when the baby cries out, "Daddy!" and grabs onto his leg. The baby thinks the Tyrannosaurus is his father, so as not to disappoint the little one, he takes on the task of raising a baby Ankylosaur. The two develop ever stronger bonds of love, but soon comes the day when they must part. Highlighting the importance of family, this sweet picture book celebrates the love between father and son.

"The Tyrannosaurus looks more like a stylized Godzilla than a recognizable dino in the simply drawn pictures, but his toothy fierceness and the extreme size differential between him and tiny 'Yummy' ably capture the episode's essential features. Bold lines and strong color contrasts (plus the odd exploding volcano) give the prehistoric landscape plenty of visual appeal too." —Vicky Smith,Kirkus Reviews

"Bestselling Japanese artist Miyanishi’s (Mr. Reaper) bold, woodcutlike spreads draw immediate attention . . . . In contrast to his muscular artwork, Miyanishi’s writing tugs at the heartstrings as a newborn Ankylosaurus adopts a Tyrannosaurus Rex as his parent." —Publishers Weekly

"Warning: Parents might shed a tear or two at the ending." —Alyson, eatreadandbemommy.com

"You Look Yummy!Is an utterly endearing story that touched my heart; and I can see why it’s an international best seller. It’s the best picture book for boys I’ve seen all year." —Suslă!
