Bookroo's summary

In a prehistoric world, a baby Ankylosaurus mistakes a fearsome Tyrannosaurus for his father. To the Tyrannosaurus's surprise, he embraces the role, nurturing the little one. As their bond deepens, they face the inevitable moment of parting. This heartwarming tale explores the unexpected ties of family and the bittersweet nature of love.

From the publisher

This sweet tale about the love between father and son is the first in a tremendously popular Tyrannosaurus series in 12 titles to date, with combined sales in excess of 3 million copies in Japan, China, Korea, Taiwan and France. A long, long time ago, a baby Ankylosaurus is born on a volcano erupting ground. As the little Ankylosaurus begins wandering around, a big Tyrannosaurus comes along. He is about to pounce when the baby cries out, “Daddy!” and grabs onto his leg. The baby thinks the Tyrannosaurus is his father, so as not to disappoint the little one, he takes on the task of raising a baby Ankylosaur. The two develop ever stronger bonds of love, but soon comes the day when they must part. Highlighting the importance of family, this sweet picture book celebrates the love between father and son.
