Books for Kids: My T- Rex Gets a Bath:

Rate this book
Tom has a funny pet dinosaur, but there is one big problem. Rex doesn’t take a bath, doesn’t brush his teeth and ruins boy’s pajama. The dinosaur hides in his room and everyone thinks that it’s a boy’s fault. Our hero is a delightfully headstrong boy, who will not take the blame for someone else's bad behavior!

"It's time to teach Rex that hygiene is fun,
It's good to get clean when the day is done."
He pulled Rex out from under the bed.
"I have a great new game," he said.







Here's what readers are already saying about the colorful, funny and valuable

"It was playful and the twist of Tom teaching Rex was a surprise. As a mom, I would have liked something said about cleaning up the mess. All in all, I loved it. I saw the two of them playing; the rhythm is good." -- Janis

"It has great rhythm, very easy to read, flows well and is a really sweet story for kids encouraging hygiene." -- Emily .

"Very cute story;) We loved the bedtime reading while learning;) The illustrations are awesome!" -- Angela

Read this book for my son as a bedtime story tonight. It’s a cute read. T-Rex wanted to have fun and refused bath & brushing teeth so the boy suggested fun games for getting ready for bed. They squirted water and splash each other. Then they did a race to see who can finish brushing first. It’s a good book to teach kids that getting ready for bed can be fun and not something that they should dread. I recommend the read!

This book tells of a story that includes two message for young readers.The theme include the importance of hygine and making it fun for the character and the reader to not dread bedtime.This story shares the importance of having a routine that can be a constant in a child's life.The character t-rex did not want to get ready for bed and his friend the boy makes it fun with games.The author wrote in rhyming words to grab the readers attention .The young readers of this book can see by the writing and the fun the pair is having and incorporate it in their own bed time routine.The illustastation have pretty colors and it can draw in the readers.The character of the t rex developed by changing from not wanting to go to bed and do the things that go with going to bed to being excited to go to bed with this fun games that help with his routine.

This is such a cute book a lot of kids don't like to brush their teeth take a bath and this T-Rex he's one of those kids. This is a fun way to get kids to understand that taking a bath and brushing their teeth it's really fun and they can make a game of it and this is a wonderful book to do that . I love all the illustrations in the pretty colors in the book and kids will love to look at the pictures and smile and laugh as they get to read the story.

I gave this book five stars because it truly deserves it. The writing in rhyme was fantastic and the friendship of fun and learning was excellent. I am looking forward to reading this book to my grandson, when he arrives. Thank you Chloe Sanders for a wonder-filled book.

Many young children don't like to brush their teeth or take a bath and this story shows them that it's not only important, but it can be fun. Author Chloe Sanders does a fine job at bringing these two messages together. The illustrations in the story definitely add to the book's appeal.

Quick and easy read

This was a quick and easy read. I read it to my nephew and he seemed to like it. The only complaint that I had was that it didn't keep his attention the whole time.
The pictures were well done and colorful. I will read it again to him at bed time.

Creative!

Fun rhymes, cute illustrations, great lesson. I had a few spots giving me a hard time reading some words on my phone due to small print, black text on dark colors, and some letters in the font.

Good premise

Although I liked the premise and the energy of the story, the rhyme scheme was a bit off,so I was distracted by it at times.

Good idea

5-year-old liked the bath in the story. I felt that it skipped a bit. I had to check again to see if I missed any pages - story could have connected more smoothly.

A little boy and his dinosaur get ready for bed. The T-Rex has other plans that make a mess of things. The little boy then shows his friend what fun getting ready for bed can be.

My T-Rex Gets A Bath is very similar to another Chloe Sanders book Goodnight, Monster!. I found this one more enjoyable because the prose did not throw me out of the story try to always find the right rhyming scheme.

Because the story is very similar to Sanders other story affected my rating of the book. Sometimes it seemed like the same book but different drawings.

I think the artwork is cute and it is a book little dinosaur lovers with enjoy.

My T-Rex Gets a Bath
This book sounded so silly I just wanted to read it because I know it will have me laughing.
Children's rhyming colorful story of what happens after the toys have been picked up and it's time for the boys bath...with his T-Rex.
They decide on a game to play while getting scrubbed clean.
Some of the pages are very dark with dark lettering it's difficult to see.
Cute story and a free gift.

I think it's a good book because it teaches you about kindness and friendships.

Because it teaches you a lot about stuff you will need in life. I like this book because it's cute. I also picked this book because it just by how the book looks it looks like a good book to read.

This was an adorable illustrated story about a little boy and problems with bedtime – so he ends up teaching his T-Rex about hygiene and that baths, cleaning your teeth and maybe picking up after yourself can be fun!
