What a lovely story! Even the title is adorable! 😍
I love that the toy's a bit of a nuisance because let's face it, some children's toys are super annoying.
Thank you for your enthusiastic review!

These types of books make your heart melt. Showing different types of love. The ones filled with innocence, where it is not a transaction. It sounds like a great read thank you for the review.

This must be every boys dream toy. A walking talking T-Rex. But what lesson must be learned in the end? Congratulations on book of the day.

This sounds like an excellent book with lessons to be learned! Children always love animal tales and seem captivated by animals of all kinds. Most children are drawn to dinosaurs because they are not a familiar sight in everyday life! Thanks for the wonderful review!

This is a great book for any child who loves dinosaurs. I especially enjoy the love between Great-Aunt Rita and Jake. Thank you for your review.

Latest Review: Seeker: A Sea Odyssey by Rita Pomade

Post by Samuel Onowhakpor »

The book follows the heartwarming adventure of a T-rex bought for Jake by his Great-aunt which ended causing a nuisance around the house, thus the name Roarasaurus. It was a fun-filled read and I liked as the author used colourful pictures throughout the book to depict the various motions of the story. It's truly a book that will engage and excite any child. Thanks for the review and congratulations on becoming Book Of The Day.

Great review. I think that the book is definitely a good read, given the fact that it has pictures too. And a talking toy is definitely something any child would look out for.

Another children's book I absolutely love, and would add to my bookshelf..I like the little Roarasaurus as an individual in this book, yet mid way through I calculated the world would end. What kind of moral is contained here? Your review is a wonderful one, it really explained the book elaborately. Congratulations to the author on BOTD.

From the sample of the book shared I could tell the book is great for children just by looking at the colored photos used. Looking forward to reviewing the book.

The book's cover is great. I believe children will be thrilled with even more is the fact that the toy dinosaur can walk and talk. The pictures should be a catch for the kids as well. Thank you for the excellent review.

What a good book. Reading it was nostalgic for the family Christmas days when I would get each species of dinosaurs, in pursuit of forming a collection! Great book.

A dinosaur toy that walks on its own around the house would be a real pain! Although I can imagine my kids would find that funny… this seems like a very cute children’s book, and if the insides are anything like the cover, illustrations are adorable!

Thank you for the informative review!

Roarasaurus by Great-aunt Rita(and she really is GREAT!) with lots of help from Jake and Elina Farber is a children's about a child who received a dinasour gift from the aunt. Will allow this one slide because I am not a big fan of children's books.
