Rex

Ursula Dubosarsky Rex; illus. by David Mackintosh. 31pp/Roaring Book Press
2005ISBN 1-59643-186-5 $16.95 (Primary)

Dubosarsky has created yet another wonderful children’s book to add to her collection. Rex is a charming little class pet that every child is excited to take home for an evening of adventure that is recorded in the class notebook. Mackintosh recreates the class notebook with precise primary exaggeration when he depicts each sleepover with Rex. Dubosarsky’s short sentences paired with Mackintosh’s notebook paper art create a captivating story that children are sure to love. The only question left to ask is, “What would you do if Rex came to visit you?”
