About the Author

Maggie Fischer is originally from Oregon, but now lives in Seattle, Washington, after receiving her B.A. in English from Gonzaga University. The daughter of a children’s librarian, Maggie has grown up surrounded by books and feels impossibly lucky to write and edit books for kids. She spends her time trying not to get worried about the increasing number of crows in her backyard, petting her enormous cat, Finch, and drinking more coffee than is probably healthy.

Carlo Beranek is a freelance illustrator based in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. He studied animation at a creative college in Rotterdam, but soon discovered that his true passion was for illustration, particularly the creation of whimsical characters that bring people, children especially, joy. His work is bold, bright, and colorful, and often invested with strong messages that carry forward Carlo’s belief in art’s ability to entertain, educate, and inspire. If Carlo weren’t an illustrator, he would have been a chef. He loves reading, listening to music, and going to the cinema, and would jump at the chance to move to a big city like London or New York and adopt a dog.

Editorial Reviews

10/01/2023

PreS-K—Baby T. rex stalks the pages of this book as a squeaky green dino. While all he wants to do is roar, only a squeak—created by pushing on the silicone belly—is produced. Finding another young dino who can only squeak helps T. rex know that he is not alone and that roaring will come in time. VERDICT Children will love squeaking Baby T. rex long after the story has been read.
