Samanthasaurus Rex, written by B.B. Mandell, reviewed by Todd Erickson

Summary: They say when a baby hatches, she is born exactly the way she will always be. Luckily for Samanthasaurus and her family, she is not your run of the mill tyrannosaurus rex. Girls need to be strong, a leader, and loud implores her family. Samanthasaurus believes she's all of those things, just a little more civilized and curious than her behemoth brethren. It's Samanthasaurus and her quick wits that save the day when the family finds itself imperiled by an erupting volcano.

Straight Talk for Librarians: Samanthasaurus Rex is a rollicking celebration of what make one girl dinosaur standout from her pack. Very young children will enjoy this predictable, yet enjoyable tale of how one dinosaur's quick wits save the day. Colorful, eye catching illustrations will grab youngster's attention. The message here, however slight, is positive and celebrates that which makes us all special.
