My 3 year old loves dinosaurs and Sue is her favorite, so she had to get this when she heard about it and it’s quickly become one of her favorites. The art is good, and the bright colors really held her attention. Rechlin’s voice works well for this type of educational story. It never feels like he’s lecturing or talking down to the target audience. The story about how Sue’s skeleton may have ended up the way it did kept it fun as well. Not just for kids, either, as I was entertained and learned a lot.

Great graphic novel about SUE the T. rex, with solid science. Would be ideal for a dino-loving kid but even adults will learn something.
