When Jake tries to get more out of an object he bought, he gets more than he can handle. How does this all end for Jake? Roarasaurus is a children’s book by Great-Aunt Rita (and she really is GREAT!) with lots of help from Jake and Elina Farber. The book talks about Jake’s encounter with a T-Rex.

Roarasaurus was more like a memoir by Great-Aunt Rita, in which she details a peculiar series of events that happened to her great-nephew Jake. Great-Aunt Rita had gone to a store to get a present for her nephew, who was celebrating his birthday. On getting to the store, a particular toy caught her eye. It was a T-Rex, and she knew Jake would love it. The salesman also said good things about the toy and described its features. Jake was very excited about the toy, but his happiness quickly turned to disappointment when it did not work as expected. Great-Aunt Rita got it to start working as it should. Unfortunately, it seemed more disastrous. How did they fix this? Can they fix it? Read this book to find out.

From the description of the actions of the T-Rex, the book sounded like Tom and Jerry, which makes it hard to believe that the story is real. I tried to put myself in the shoes of a child to understand the book and relate to wanting to read it again. The author focused on children while writing. The book contains beautiful and colorful pictures, and there is a picture for each page or group of narration. The book was fun to read as it was simple, straightforward, and had simple diction.

The only thing I disliked was that the author did not arrange the book properly. I understand that the author probably wanted to put the corresponding image with the text, but I had to zoom in to read. However, the above dislike is not enough to deduct a star from this book’s rating. I rate this book five out of five stars. It was easy to understand and educational. It was exceptionally well-edited, as I encountered zero errors while reading.

I recommend this book to children ages 3 to 7 who would enjoy someone reading the book to them. The children will also learn valuable life lessons such as patience, taking care of things, and others.

This is is a good review. That sounds like Tom and Jerry has drawn me into it. I believe the children will enjoy it and learn one or two lessons from it. It is very captivating. I enjoyed reading your review.

I can imagine Jake's disappointment when his new toy couldn't work.
But I believe the lessons he learned in fixing the toy will be of great value to other kids that read the book.
I like your fascinating and well-detailed review.

This is a nice review. The story is good for kids too. At a point I wondered what kind of mess the t-rex toy was going to cause. Did it have super powers or something?

Wow... this book sounds very promising. I wonder if Jake got his T-rex to function and what the disaster could be. My interest is piqued now. Nice review.

I love the book cover. However, the book was giving the cartoon and I don't like cartoons. This book will definitely be stuck in the hands for children. Nice review.

After watching a horror movie, I've been scared of toys. I wonder how things go and if the issue is from the toy. I don't think I'll be reading this book. Thanks for an interesting review though.
