Bookroo's summary
In a world where tyrannosauruses reign with terror, a gentle duckbill dinosaur hatches in the wrong nest. Dubbed Tyrannosaurus Drip by his fierce sisters, he longs for a peaceful life. Can Drip find his place in a world that sees him as an oddity? Discover the heartwarming tale of a vegetarian T. rex navigating a world of carnivores, where identity and belonging are at stake. Will Drip's true nature shine through, or will he be forever out of place?
From the publisher
Everyone knows that tyrannosauruses are big and scary, so when a placid duckbill dinosaur’s egg ends up in the wrong nest confusion is sure to ensue. When the baby dinosaur hatches out, he’s so out of place that his grisly big sisters call him Tyrannosaurus Drip.
