School Library Journal - 01/01/2018 PreS-Gr 1—Cookiesaurus Rex, the self-proclaimed King of All Cookies, has a great attitude until it's not all about him. Life is good being the first sugar cookie to be frosted. "Oh, I like the green. Grrreen is grrreat!" But when the horse cookie gets colorful sprinkles and the dog gets shiny stars, it just becomes too much to bear. "Wait one stinkin,' stompin' minute! Why do they get all the good stuff? I'm Cookiesaurus Rex, and all I have is gloppy green frosting and this STUPID hat! Do over! I want a do over!" Fun, colorful illustrations work well with the text. The dinosaur does get more accessories, but it's not the glamour he craves. First he gets a ballerina tutu, followed by a baby bonnet and diaper. The lighthearted text will appeal to children as will the theme. Readers will be cheering him on and laughing as the giant human hand follows with frosting. Dinosaur tries running away, then takes matters into his own hands by decorating himself as a superhero. A few more decoration changes follow before the dinosaur becomes the decked-out King of All Cookies. But eventually his fate is sealed when his decorations are licked off. VERDICT The combination of lively text and fun illustrations make this a solid choice for a storytime as well as an upbeat addition to most collections. Who doesn't like a picture book with a friendly dinosaur?—Robin Sofge, Prince William Public Library System, VA - Copyright 2018 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
