Bookroo's summary

On a rocky mountain, a little Pterosaur learns kindness from his mother. When a fearsome Tyrannosaurus falls and loses his sight while trying to catch him, the Pterosaur faces a dilemma. Should he help his former pursuer? As the Tyrannosaurus asks, 'Who is there?' the Pterosaur responds, 'I am a Tyrannosaurus,' concealing his true identity. This heartwarming tale explores themes of compassion and courage, challenging the Pterosaur to see beyond fear and embrace empathy. Will his act of kindness transform an enemy into a friend?

From the publisher

A little Pterosaur lives on top of a rocky mountain, where his mother teaches him to be kind and to always help others in need. One day, a huge Tyrannosaurus falls down the mountain and is injured as he tries to catch the little Pterosaur. Remembering his mother’s lesson, the little Pterosaur decides to take care of the injured Tyrannosaurus. As a result of his fall, the Tyrannosaurus temporarily loses his sight, and asks, “Who is there?” The Pterosaur hides and answers, “I am a Tyrannosaurus.” The fifth title in this acclaimed Tyrannosaurus series, I Am a Tyrannosaurus, delivers a heartwarming story about being kind and helping others with vivid, brightly colored illustrations and endearingly drawn characters.
