Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Tyson the Terrible
Diane Fox · 2006
78/100
👍 Worth It
A charming little board book that flips the scary-monster script right on its head — Tyson turns out to be the tiniest, loneliest dino on the field, and toddlers absolutely eat up that reveal. The Fox team keeps the art bright and the pacing bouncy, making every read-aloud a delight. It's slight by design, but for the two-to-five crowd it delivers exactly what it promises.
