Roarasaurus: The Roaring Soaring Dinosaur! is written by Great-aunt Rita (and she really is GREAT!) with lots of help from Jake and Elina Farber, and it is illustrated by Mike Sofka. My version has 16 pages, and the book is dedicated to Sarah, Julia, Michael, Elina, and Jake. This book is based on a true story. It was Jake's birthday, and Great Aunt wanted to give him a dinosaur because Jake loves dinosaurs, but the cashier hints that the toy dinosaur is a really special one. What is special about this dinosaur? Please read this intriguing children's book to find out.

I like that this book is short, though some people may think it's too short. In my opinion, the length of the story is perfect for its plot. I like how Jake’s mother didn't encourage him to get rid of the toy but to tame it. Other scared mothers may have tried to encourage his fear for the toy, but I like how his mother made him see that he could be in control by taking the roaring dinosaur. I so like how she encouraged him to take care of and love the dinosaur.

I like how each page has a matching illustration, and the illustrations in this book are amazing, very bright and colorful, and this is really good because even if kids that aren't very good with reading pick up the book to read, through the illustrations they can understand what's going on in the book and what the story is about. I also like that there is a picture of Jake, Elina, and Great-Aunt Rita at the end of the book.

This book has nothing that I dislike about it. At one point, I became scared for the kids in the story, Jake and Elina; I could only imagine how scared they must have felt when the toy began to misbehave and didn't stop even after the batteries were removed. But it's a true story that can teach adults to be cautious about the toys they buy for their children. I rate this book five out of five stars. It was exceptionally well edited, and I found no errors while reading it.

I recommend it to parents who enjoy reading bedtime stories to their young children, as well as to young children.

I love the way you described Great-aunt Rita. It sort of makes me want to read the book myself. I also wonder what makes the dinosaur special. I will find that out when I read the book. I look forward to getting the opportunity to read it.

I enjoyed your review, Jake's mother played a vital role by encouraging Jake to tame the toy, that is an example of a good parent.

U love children books, especially meaningful ones, and this seems to pass a message across, parents should be careful on the kind of toys they get their kids, Jake must have been really scared by the roaring soaring dinosaur. Great review.
