Publisher's Synopsis
When Elizabeth finds a large, blue-speckled egg in her backyard, she just knows something special is inside. Crack! Crack! Soon, a little green T-Rex named William, peeks out of the egg and smiles. Quickly, William is adopted into Elizabeth's Texan family. As he grows and grows, William learns to love the traditional Tex-Mex dishes served in his new family. Maybe I could open a Tex-Mex restaurant when I grow up, William dreams. Through much determination and hard work, William's dream of a Tex-Mex restaurant is about to come true. Then, on opening day, William faces his greatest challenge. Will his restaurant dream survive? With whimsical humor, this read-aloud or beginner reader story gently encourages children to accept those who are different and teaches them the value of family love. William Thomas is a young writer who decided to write a children's book about Tex-Mex food after completing a school project.
