Bookroo's summary

Aging Tyrannosaurus, once obsessed with power, finds himself vulnerable after a Masiakasaurus attack. Nursed by young Triceratops, he discovers unexpected affection. When Giganotosaurus threaten, will he sacrifice everything to protect his newfound friends? In a world where love challenges might, Tyrannosaurus faces his greatest test.

From the publisher

Although Tyrannosaurus storms around saying that power is everything in the world, he realizes he is getting weaker with age. After his tail gets bitten in a run-in with Masiakasaurus, some young Triceratops nurse him back to health. Touched by their innocent hearts, Tyrannosaurus begins to feel love for these new friends-even though he might have eaten them under different circumstances! So when two Giganotosaurus attack the group, Tyrannosaurus fights them off, holding the children tightly to his body, and sacrificing himself in order to protect them from the Giganotosaurus. The third title in this acclaimed series, I Want That Love explains that love is far more important than power.
