Tony T-Rex's Family Album is a humorous dinosaur story as told by Tony, the last surviving dinosaur on Earth. Tony writes an unrestricted family history and the stories that emerge reveal the defining characteristics of some of the most memorable creatures of the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. His memoirs include tales of his great-great-great-grandfather 'Greedy Guts' Bill, the Brachiosaurus known for eating stones to aid in digestion, and his beaked aunt, Aunt Norni the Sinornithosaurus, the first female dinosaur to achieve flight. It also presents the darker side of the family - a Ceratosaurus named Horace 'The Horn' who, in a time of extreme scarcity and hunger, bit one of his fellow hunters and pursued a cannibalistic lifestyle. With the unusual illustrations by Rob Hodgson, Tony T-Rex's Family Album stands out among the many dinosaur books on the market thanks to its characters and its humorous approach to paleontology. It is the first in a series that brings archaeology closer to young readers.
