At the Dino Wash Deluxe, dinosaurs get scrubbed clean, from scales to spikes. But when a fearsome T. rex with sharp teeth and a mean demeanor shows up, the staff faces a daunting challenge. Can they handle this intimidating customer, or will the T. rex prove too much for the wash? Discover the surprising truth about tough exteriors in this fun-filled adventure, where even the fiercest creatures might not be as scary as they seem. Packed with dinosaur facts, this story offers a delightful twist on facing fears and unexpected friendships.

From the publisher

A rollicking romp around an old fashioned car wash—where DINOSAURS are the customers!

How can a dinosaur stay dirt-free in the city? Welcome to the Dino Wash Deluxe, where dinos go to get soaped, scrubbed, and spotlessly clean. The Dino Wash handles it all: scales, spikes, wings, even frills and horns. BUT WAIT! There’s a new customer in town: a T. rex with sharp teeth, long claws, and a mighty mean personality. What will happen when T. rex shows up? Filled with dinosaur facts and fun, this hilarious picture book reminds children that tough guys might not be as scary as they seem.
