Roarasaurus by Great-aunt Rita(and she really is GREAT!) with lots of help from Jake and Elina Farber is a fascinating children's book. Fun fact: it's a true story. During birthdays and unique celebrations, we often wonder what we'll gift our kids. Children are intrigued by numerous items, and among them are animal toys.

It is Jake's birthday, and his aunt, Great-Aunt Rita, wonders what to buy him. Therefore, she goes to the store and sees animal toys. The dinosaur toys captivate her eyes, so she picks one and has it wrapped nicely. Before leaving, the seller informs Great-Aunt Rita that the selected dinosaur toy is distinctive because it can walk and talk.

When Jake receives the disguised gift, he is elated and unwraps it. But it does not behave as his aunt was told. Great-Aunt Rita reads the manual and discovers the toy needs batteries, so she does as per the instructions. But things take a wild turn! The dinosaur becomes a nuisance in the house; it roars and walks all over. But Jake learns a lesson from his mum at the end. What does Jake's mum tell her son?

From the word go, the book is full of pictures. Oh boy! They're picturesque, especially the nuisance dinosaur toy. I could create an image of the noises it made. I loved that. Furthermore, I envied the affection between Jake and Great-Aunt Rita; it was so infectious! Her love for her nephew was astounding to the point of buying him a unique gift.

The concluding page has a notable pictorial. The author inserts a picture of herself, her nephew (Jake), and niece (Elina). The inclusion was bold and moving! I did not dislike anything. Hence, I rate the book 4 out of 4 stars. I found no errors, so it is exceptionally well edited. I recommend the work to young kids willing to read a short story about love, family, and dinosaurs.

A true story children's book? Why not? Books for the youngest are more important then ever. We all know what happens when children are raised by TV and Youtube.
Fine review!

YouTube and television helps children to be social and is also a means of learning, this book teaches children alot and I would recommend it to my younger ones.

In my opinion children's books are always awesome. They teach kids and sometimes even adults valuable lessons: I already see one when the dinosaur behaved not the way it was supposed to and I'm sure there are more lessons to get from this book. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!

Kids are hard to buy for. I guess that's why this is so amusing.

This is a fun kids story, which is probably based on real-life experiences with annoying, battery-powered stoys.

Today's book seems like a fun reading activity for the whole family. Reading the story aloud, complete with the roaring looks like an entertaining bonding activity. Congratulations on Book of the day!
