A Jessica The Littlest T Rex Review

By Essie Osborn


Stories are essential to children these days because it is through these stories that children will be able to learn lessons and acquire values which they will need when they grow up. Jessica the littlest t rex is such a book that holds a lot of moral lessons that are hidden inside a story of a dinosaur. This book will let children see what it is really like in the modern world through the eyes of a dinosaur.

The author, Richard Hamilton, is a man who has a very special writing style that can really capture almost any audience. It is because of his unique style that this little book of his can be read by both adults and children who are about to reach their adolescent stage. One of the fundamentals of his style would be his light humor that is attached to this particular work of his.

Now the reason as to why the author chose to write about the life of a dinosaur is simply because everyone is fascinated with dinosaurs. Also, the rough lifestyle of a dinosaur is the perfect way to showcase real life situations to kids in a very entertaining and not so scary manner. Modern situations are what the author would want to present to readers.

Now Jessica, who is a young tyrannosaurus rex, is actually the one that most kids would relate with. She is a young dinosaur who seems to have a hard time fitting in and finding out who she is. Now situations that regular kids would go through like fitting into the crowd or trying to be popular can be seen in the life of young Jess.

Now one of the most important lessons that would come from this book would be none other than friendship. In the story, Jess only had two friends who were Randy and Carol. Randy and Carol were two rodents that Jess made friends with earlier in the story.

Now by reading the story, the reader will find out that these two rodents are the only friends that Jess has. Since she is basically small in stature, no one looks at her as their contemporary and decides not to play with her at all. Since Jess could not fit in with the other dinosaurs, the only creatures she would hang around with were the furry rodents.

Later on in the story, she would find out that friendship is extremely valuable and that only those who are considered true friends will stick. This is one of the most important lessons that the author would want to showcase in this book. In fact, friendship is one of the main themes of this book as it illustrates the adventures of Jess with her friends.

Unlike many other modern books of this kind, this one is definitely one that stands out. This book actually hides real life behind its fictitious exterior in the form of a prehistoric life. Many children will definitely be entertained with this book as well as inspired because of the overall characteristics of the main protagonist known as the young T Rex named Jess.
