Rawr! by Todd H Doodler

Instead he teaches everyone exactly why being different is great in this hilariously heartwarming story about making friends, getting along, and learning to say RAWR!

The Ugly Duckling Dinosaur: A Prehistoric Tale by Cheryl Bardoe, illustrated by Doug Kennedy

From chapters.ca:
Once upon a time, seven tiny duck beaks pecked their way out of their eggs, but the eighth egg was a little bit different. What emerged wasn't a duck at all - he was a dinosaur! Everyone notices how different he is. He doesn't waddle! His teeth are too big! Feeling ugly and outcast, the dinosaur duckling leaves his family and ventures out on his own. Again and again he tries to make friends, but everyone runs away! Over time he grows bigger and bigger but still can't seem to find his rightful place. One day he unexpectedly comes across other dinosaurs that look just like him, and he discovers he's really a T. rex! This humorous and charming take on The Ugly Duckling also includes an author's note about the dinosaurs depicted and the early ancestors of modern ducks who lived side by side, and features scientifically accurate illustrations of the creatures.

I Speak Dinosaur! by Jed Henry

From chapters.ca:
Little boys will roar for I Speak Dinosaur! in which an energetic kid with a big imagination prefers to "speak Dinosaur." Speaking Dinosaur means he doesn't have to use his manners and instead can roar and growl at his friends and family! But speaking Dinosaur gets the boy into trouble, and without other "dinosaurs" to talk to and play with, he gets lonely. Delivering a fun message that encourages young readers to express themselves creatively, yet cautioning that even dinosaurs need to be polite and say "please" and "thank you," this dino-mite book will have larger-than-life kid appeal.

Goldilocks and the Three Dinosaurs by Mo Willems


From chapters.ca:
Once upon a time, there were three hungry Dinosaurs: Papa Dinosaur, Mama Dinosaur... and a Dinosaur who happened to be visiting from Norway. One day - for no particular reason - they decided to tidy up their house, make the beds, and prepare pudding of varying temperatures. And then - for no particular reason - they decided to go... some place else. They were definitely not setting a trap for some succulent, unsupervised little girl. Definitely not! This new take on a fairy- tale classic is so funny and so original - it could only come from the brilliant mind of Mo Willems.
