Bookroo's summary

Reginald, a fierce T. Rex, prefers veggies over meat, making him an outcast among his carnivorous peers. Seeking acceptance, he ventures to join herbivores but inadvertently scares them away. When a boulder threatens his old clan, Reginald must show that being different is his greatest strength. Can a vegetarian dinosaur save the day and find where he truly belongs? This tale celebrates individuality and the courage to be yourself.

From the publisher

Reginald’s a T. Rex just as fierce and ferocious as the rest: he’s got a mighty roar, gnashing teeth, and all the speed a dino could need. But when it comes to mealtime, Reg would rather chow down on broccoli, beans, and greens than the juicy steaks his paleo pals prefer. When Reginald realizes how different he is from the others, he hopes to find a place to fit in among the herbivores. He excitedly strikes out in search of a new herd, only to scare away the other dinosaurs as he charges to greet them. But when a falling boulder threatens the safety of Reg’s old T. Rex clan, he’ll show everyone what only a strong, vegetarian Tyrannosaurs rex can do. A celebration of vegetarianism, T. Veg is a rollicking laugh-out-loud tale about being unapologetically yourself.
