Description
Once upon a time a violent, mean, selfish Tyrannosaurus roamed the land, and all the other animals feared him. One day, while chasing small, defenseless animals, the Tyrannosaurus falls into the ocean. The Elasmosaurus, who lives in the sea, saves his life, and the Tyrannosaurus says “thank you” for the very first time. From that day, the land creature and the sea creature become best friends, even though the Tyrannosaurus feels guilty about hiding his true nature. Then, when the Elasmosaurus is attacked by a violent dinosaur of the ocean, the Tyrannosaurus tries to save him even though he knows he can’t swim….
The author, Tatsuya Miyanishi, delivers a heartwarming story about real friendship with vivid, brightly colored illustrations and endearingly drawn characters.

Praise for the first book in the Tyrannosaurus series You Look Yummy!
“Best-selling Japanese artist
Miyanishi’s . . . bold, woodcutlike spreads draw immediate
attention. Strong black lines sizzle and swoop against the yellow and vermilion
of his prehistoric landscape, which is studded with volcanoes and
boulders. . . . Miyanishi’s writing tugs at the heartstrings.”—Publishers
Weekly
