    Some tea parties are for grown-ups.
    Some are for girls.
    But this tea party is for a very special guest.
    And it is important to follow some rules . . .
    like providing comfortable chairs,
    and good conversation,
    and yummy food.
    But sometimes that is not enough for special guests,
    especially when their manners are more Cretaceous than gracious . . .

    Introducing Tea Rex, a guest that just about any child would love to have to tea!
    Molly Idle graduated from Arizona State University with a BFA in drawing and began her career at DreamWorks Feature Animation Studios. She now lives in Arizona with her husband, two sons, and two snuggly cats. Tea Rex is her first book. View titles by Molly Idle
    Praise for Tea Rex by Molly Idle:

    "Sure to be enjoyed by tea-party enthusiasts, and even dino fans with no use for a teapot will find themselves drawn to this clever tale of a not-entirely-civilized beast of the past."  —Kirkus 

    “…Idle has a gift for comic composition...” —Publishers Weekly

    "The tension between the text and illustrations provides much to amuse the youngest tea-party hosts." —School Library Journal

    "A fine example of how words and pictures can lock horns to charming effect." —Booklist
