My Sitter Is a T-Rex

by Paul Orshoski, Jeffrey Ebbeler (Illustrator)

Overview

Mom and Dad rush out the door as soon as the new babysitter arrives - but the new babysitter is a T-Rex! In this very funny story, a boy deals with the scariest babysitter ever. First he runs and hides, but when the T-Rex starts to wreck the house, he gets mad. In the end, the boy and the T-Rex clean up the house together and the boy even asks his parents if the T-Rex can come back again. Very humorous illustrations complement this fun-filled adventure.

Editorial Reviews

K-Gr 2—In the first book, Jack has a playdate with a toddler. He tries to be a good host, but he just can't find any activities that the two can share because of the difference in their ages. Finally, he realizes one thing they can do: they can be friends. The colorful, comiclike illustrations are inviting, but can't save the bland, repetitive text. The concept of "We Both Read" is highly recommended for parent and child, but this book is not. My Sitter Is a T-Rex! is similar to Dr. Seuss's Cat in the Hat. Todd has an unusual babysitter who constantly but accidentally makes a mess. The story, told in rhyme, is funny, as is the expressive, colorful art, making it a worthwhile purchase for adult/child sharing.—Elaine Charnow, Deasy/Landing Elementary Schools, Glen Cove, NY
