The Three Little Dinosaurs

Once upon a time, a long, long time ago, there were three little dinosaurs. No, not pigs. Dinosaurs. Brachiosaurs, to be exact. This was before pigs even existed. So, please, whatever you do, do NOT call them pigs. They hate that.What these three brothers loved was to shoot hoops, read comic books, and play video games--probably just like you. One day, however, the time came for the brothers to move out on their own.Going their separate ways, but promising to stay in touch, the trio ventured out, well aware of their mother's warning about the big, bad T-Rex.The Rex was a bully who liked to chase and catch the dinosaurs that were smaller than him. He did this because he was always hungry, and the little dinos looked so tasty. Although the brachiosaur brothers were old enough to move out on their own, they were still little. They still had a lot of growing to do. (Just like you!)The Rex eventually tracked the brothers down. But while he had the brawn, he also had a brain the size of a pea (and that's pretty small)! The brothers had big brains and quick feet. With that combination, they could teach the Rex a thing or two.Who knows? The Rex might even learn what bullies so often discover--that little dinosaurs (or little boys and girls) grow up to be big . . . sometimes very big!Jim Harris, prolific author and illustrator of numerous children's books, counts among his many prizes the coveted Communication Arts' Award of Excellence. His popular, critically acclaimed works include Three Little Javelinas, Ten Little Dinosaurs, and Tuesday in Arizona. The last book was written by his wife, Marian, and was published by Pelican.
