Follow the lives of a T Rex family has they welcome new hatch lings, and they grow to be adults. This book wants to be a National Geographic special in graphic novel format, but it tries to hard. It’s presented as fiction, but is mostly non-fiction with the dinosaurs having names, and the reader being let in on the thoughts of the characters. But for me, this book was just boring. I kept wondering, are we there yet? Is the end in site. This book will be lovely for someone, but not me.

I was underwhelmed by this nature documentary comic book but my ten year old loved it so what do I know? As a seasoned comic reader, the panel flow was a bit off at times and the lettering wasn't to the standard of Marvel or DC but the story flowed nicely and had sufficient going on to keep twitchy Mr Ten occupied.

This follow up novel is a continuation of the story of Cobalt, a tyrannosaurus rex, who in this book raises a family. Although the names of the specific dinosaurs are obviously fictional, the facts about dinosaurs incorporated into the story are true. This is a fantastic way to introduce graphic novels to children who are interested in dinosaurs. The bright, colorful illustrations match the story well, and the text is easily readable and accessible to many readers. Recommended.

I received a complimentary copy of this book through Netgalley for the purpose of review.

First off, I was not a fan of the art style if I am being honest. I also did not care for the storyline, and felt it was missing excitement. I was pumped to see a graphic novel following T Rex's, and unfortunately, it did not meet my expectations.
