A very long time ago, dinosaurs lived all over the world. They were various colors, shapes, and sizes, and spoke different languages. One snowy winter, with his skillful use of words, Tapejara almost tricks a Tyrannosaurus to its death. A weak Tyrannosaurus meets three friendly Homalocephale and they save his life, even though they do not understand each other’s languages. They become good friends and start communicating with their hearts. One day, while picking up red berries for the Tyrannosaurus, Homalocephale meets Albertosaurus, who is hungry and speaks the same language as the Tyrannosaurus. I Really Love You shows that heartfelt communication is about more than just words.
We received this book to give an honest review.
A and I read this book one evening at bedtime. The story is really cute but I do think the author needs to fix the formatting in the book. Every book I have read by this publishing house seems to have an issue example: the pages combine without a break or it ends the page in the middle of a sentence and then two pages later the other part is there.
As far as storyline goes the story is cute the tyrannosaurus meets three homalocephale and they take care of him and help him get his strength up. There is a language barrier between the animals yet finally, they start being able to understand each other and watch over each other. We learn that you don't have to speak the same as those you meet you just have to have a good heart and be willing to learn. One thing we didn't really like were the illustrations. They just seemed weird for A and I. It is hard to explain unless you look at the story.
