Dear Tyrannosaurus Rex by Lisa McClatchy

McClatchy, Lisa Dear Tyrannosaurus Rex.  PICTURE BOOK.  Random House New York, 2010.  $16.99.  Language-G (0 swears, 0 “f”), Sexual Content-G; Violence-G;  Erin writes a dinosaur and invites him to her Birthday party.  She gives him directions and tells him some of the fun things they will do at the party.  They will slide down him like a dinosaur, play games, and eat pizza.  She tells him that she will be the happiest girl in the world if he comes.  At the end the picture infers that he has come because she is opening the door and there is a very large shadow outside.  This is a darling book.
