I have quite a few books about dyslexia in my collection for my older students, but this one will appeal to the younger crowd as well. It carries a message of acceptance accompanied by adorable illustrations and an alliterative title.

I read this book to my little sister, who actually has dyslexia, and she loved it.
This story is about Daisy, a dinosaur who is starting first grade and is really excited about learning. She excels in all her subjects except for one—English. Unlike her other classmates, Daisy struggles with reading and writing. She is so ashamed of this that she keeps it a secret. With the help of her teacher and her mom, she finds out that there is nothing for her to be ashamed of. She realizes that she is not stupid just because she needs a little extra help.
The illustrations in this book were very cute and colorful. We liked how Daisy didn’t give up on herself, even though reading and writing was really hard for her.
The lesson this story teaches us is that just because you have more trouble learning something than other people do doesn’t mean you can never do it, or that you’re stupid. You are more than the things you struggle with.
All in all, I think this is a really good book that represents people with dyslexia. My sister related to Daisy, which is why she liked her and this story so much. This book is worth reading, so if you want to buy this for someone, you should go for it.

I read this book with my daughter and she agreed it is an excellent book. Perfect for those with dyslexia or those wanting to learn about it the book is easy to understand and fun to read.

A simple story about a young dinosaur starting school and discovering she is dyslexic. It explains some of the ways young dyslexic people might experience the school environment, their difficulties and how they cope with them if no-one notices their struggles. It also emphasizes the difference that help and support, can make and that dyslexia can be viewed as a super power, because of the creativity it brings. A good book to share with young people,cas it can help explain what they or friends in their class might be experiencing.

I work with high need kids including a lot with dyslexic so this title drew me me in right away.
I love how Moore breaks down the challenges of dyslexia so kids can understand and doesn’t state any negatives just the positives or in her words the super powers. I think this is a book every teacher in the younger grades should have as a read aloud. It will open their eyes a bit more and help develop empathy. Such a cute read!

This is a story that I think will be so helpful to many parents and children. I think that dyslexia is something that is often looked down upon but it is so sweet to see a book out there that make it seem like a superpower which hopefully will help to end some of the shame that is associated with different learning disabilities. This is one that I could see myself recommending multiple times to families who have just learned of a dyslexia diagnosis or for those older or younger siblings who are trying to understand what having dyslexia means. This is a story that I can not wait to get into the hands of so many little readers.

Daisy T-Rex is Dyslexic is a great read for kids who are struggling with reading challenges or who have just found out that they are having reading challenges. As a parent of a child who is dyslexic I wish I would have had this book when we first discovered his superpower. Such a great book that explains to children what dyslexia is and that there are ways to get help.

Utterly darling book about a young dyslexic T-Rex named Daisy. As someone who grew up with mild dyslexia back in the 1980s, I would have loved this book (with its open font type) and/or the supportive adults in pictured here. Love that Daisy's many other talents are on display, love that her teacher, parents, and reading specialist support her, and will be buying this for my own children, since as the book points out, dyslexia can run in families.

Thank you to Netgalley, the author, and the publisher for the review copy.

I chose to read this book because one of my nieces was just diagnosed with dyslexia, so I wanted to learn more about it and have a possible reading suggestion for her when it comes out. I thought it was very informative and helped me understand what people go through with dyslexia. I also liked how educational it is without feeling preachy.

I also liked the positive messages it conveys in a fun, adorable way. It’s nothing to be ashamed of, and it helps kids learn how to work with adversity. The story also focuses on other strengths that someone with this condition might have and can develop over time. It also talks about how dyslexia can be generational, which I didn’t know. I think the reading strategies given to the main character are great real-life suggestions.

The illustrations were really cute. I liked the bright colors and artwork. However, it was a bit text-heavy on many pages. I would’ve liked to see more artwork and less content.

Overall, this was a sweet, educational picture book that offered helpful reading tips, encouraging messages, and a way for children with dyslexia to gain more confidence in themselves. Definitely recommend!

Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this advanced copy in exchange for an honest review. These are my own thoughts and opinions.

This was a fantastic book to help explain dyslexia to young readers. The graphics were fun and adorable. I loved the dyslexic dinosaur and would share this with other young readers who may or may not struggle learning to help them feel hopeful and understanding of others.

Thanks NetGalley and Indigo River Publishing for the great read.

I read this with my 8 year old and we both enjoyed the story. I Liked that it gave kids who struggle a relatable character, and made a situation that can be scary and overwhelming, smaller and easier to understand. The book talked about not only what dyslexia is, but showed how hard Daisy worked to overcome it as well as a few strategies she used. I loved that it showed getting helps is perfectly okay!

5 stars

This book would make any kid feel better about being a dyslexic.

I loved the glossary at the end so that no matter how old the child reading is, they can learn new words. Also, the list of other people who are dyslexic was interesting. I didn't know Einstein and Robin Williams were dyslexic!

The pictures were super adorable also.

Thank you to Netgalley.com, Indigo River Publishing, and of course the author Sarah Moore for providing this wonderful ARC for me and my kids to review!

Daisy T-Rex is a precocious and vibrant young dinosaur who is excited about starting first grade. She finds that she's excellent at math, science and art, but is struggling when it comes to learning how to read. After talking to her mom she learns that she has Dyslexia and that even though it makes reading tough, it's a super power!

I love how this book addresses how having difficulty with something doesn't mean you're dumb, just that you need some extra help. Also that all the adults around her were so supportive.My kids aren't dyslexic but they have ADHD so they have other difficulties.

If you have a child who's having some difficulties in school, this book will help them feel like it's ok and they aren't alone :)

I think this book is great representation and beautiful in terms of not only drawings, but story. I think this book will really help children feel see - and like a superhero!

A very cute read that is insightful to those with dyslexia! As a speech therapist who works in an elementary school, I would love to read this to my dyslexic students to build awareness and fill them with confidence. I love the representation of dyslexia!

We loved this book. My 8 year old has recently been diagnosed as dyslexic and this was a lovely book to read together to help her understand that she can still achieve anything and has many super powers of her own.

Daisy T-Rex Is Dyslexic takes readers on a whimsical yet poignant journey with Daisy, a spunky first-grade dinosaur who loves art, math, and science but struggles with reading and spelling due to dyslexia. Author Sarah Moore weaves a thoughtful tale that not only introduces young readers to the challenges of dyslexia but also emphasizes the power of encouragement and empowerment.

The story unfolds with Daisy's curiosity about why words squiggle and why matching sounds to letters is so challenging. Through a dyslexic-friendly font and vibrant illustrations, the book not only educates but also inspires. Daisy's rise above uncertainty is beautifully depicted through themes of friendship, honesty, and perseverance. A charming and important picture book that not only raises awareness about learning challenges but also instills a message of resilience and self-acceptance.

I love that this book is available for children. I think it helps them to see that others struggle with the same problems they struggle with. I love how it gives dyslexia such a positive connotation. This is such a great book.

Where was this book when my son was young and struggling? This would have been an awesome morale booster for him while he dealt with dyslexia.
Told in a way that kids with dyslexia can relate to. And with fun pictures to keep a child’s attention, this book is a must have for families of kids with dyslexia!

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Daisy is starting first grade and is so excited to start. Until she realizes that the letters all bounce around and she has trouble reading. Her teacher says she is intelligent but if we struggle to read sometimes we need extra help.

This is a super cute book that shows kids that even if they have trouble reading they still and even more so sometimes, intelligent, brilliant, creative and marvelous. Some of the greatest minds had dyslexia. We just have to figure out the best way to help kiddos.
