Chick-O-Saurus Rex – Read Aloud & Classroom Guide
Chick-O-Saurus Rex by Lenore and Daniel Jennewein is a humorous and empowering picture book about a small chick who’s told he’s not brave or big enough to play in the treehouse.
When the chick discovers his mighty dinosaur ancestry, he realises that courage isn’t about size — it’s about standing up for yourself. With clever dinosaur references, bold illustrations, and a strong message of self-belief, this book is a favourite with both students and teachers.
