Overview
When Tyrone the T-Rex wakes up from a long nap, he discovers he's overslept...by 66 million years. Now he must navigate city life in search of friendship, food, and a place to belong. Skylar Hogan's hilarious picture book blends fish-out-of-water comedy with a heartfelt story about finding your people dinos.
66 million years ago, Tyrone the T-Rex fell asleep. When he wakes up—the whole world looks different.
When his search for his friends takes him to the Museum of Natural History, Tyrone is shocked to discover: he's the last living dinosaur. Hired as a star attraction and tour guide, Tyrone suddenly has fans, fame, and a strict manager named Steve.
But even surrounded by crowds, Tyrone has never felt lonelier—or hungrier. Business attire is confusing. The dino nuggets are absurdly small. And no one seems to quite understand him. Can Tyrone find a friend in this new world?
