★Super popular dinosaur picture book from Japan★
★Created by renowned picture book author couple, Mamoru Suzuki ✕ Fumiko Takeshita★


  The T-Rex wakes up!
  It's so hungry, will it be able to feast today?
  Don't let its predatory appearance fool you,
  In reality, hunting prey every day is quite an arduous task...

  Oh no! The Ankylosaurus looks tough to deal with.
  Never mind! Birds are just feathers and bones.
  What?! "That dinosaur" dares to steal my food!
  Survival is never easy. Why not follow the T-Rex and see how it fills its stomach today!

  ● Renowned Japanese picture book authors create for adults and children who love dinosaurs
  Mamoru Suzuki, a bird nest research expert and famous Japanese picture book artist: "Birds are descendants of dinosaurs, so naturally I became interested in dinosaurs!" Together with picture book author Fumiko Takeshita, they created two dinosaur picture books, featuring the most popular Triceratops and Tyrannosaurus rex, depicting their daily lives during the Late Cretaceous period, approximately 70 million years ago. The soft, vibrant illustrations and stories not only stimulate children's five senses but are also beautiful works of ecology.

  ● Open the door to time and learn about carnivorous dinosaurs
  Is it really that easy for carnivorous dinosaurs to find food? Prey might be fast, always in groups, or appear to be armored. Even if food is found, could there be a fiercer invader lurking in the shadows...? In "A Hungry Day for the T-Rex," the survival methods of carnivorous dinosaurs are vividly depicted through the eyes of the T-Rex, a favorite among children. It also introduces various dinosaurs and representative creatures that existed during the same period, making for a surprising and educational read!

  ● 1+1>2 reading fun, even more exciting when read with "A Triceratops' Wandering Day"!
  What was the Triceratops doing while the T-Rex was hunting? Reading it together with "A Triceratops' Wandering Day" not only reveals the survival strategies of herbivorous dinosaurs and allows us to appreciate the magnificent dinosaur era that once dominated Earth, but also, through clever comparison, surprisingly reveals that the two books tell the story of the same day!
