Rex Wrecks It REVIEW
The fun of toppling towers teams up with four unique friends
October 4, 2014 By Carrie Brown
This review is from: Rex Wrecks It! (Hardcover)
From a very early age, children love to play the "I drop it, you pick it up" game. They then graduate to "I/you build it, I knock it over." Very young children will relate to main character Rex who holds on tight to the fun of toppling towers. The repeatable line that runs through this text will delight very young children and stand up to multiple rereadings. Your child will likely see themselves in one of the four characters and even learn something about teamwork, sharing, friendship, and accepting differences. The illustrations stand out as funny, playful, and colorful. The facial expressions are priceless.
