Poor T-Rex. It's hard to be the Lizard King when you can't even change a light bulb. Drawn from Hugh Murphy's wildly popular Tumblr feed of the same name, "T-Rex Trying" depicts the stubby-armed tyrant in a range of hilarious--yet pathos-inducing--activities that we humans take for granted. Murphy's 100 drawings include: " T-Rex Trying to Paint His House T-Rex Trying to Use a Drive-Through ATM T-Rex Trying to Apply Sunscreen T-Rex Trying to Break Into a Vending Machine T-Rex Trying to Ask for a New Roll of Toilet Paper from the Next Stall" Looks like the ancient beast isn't so tough after all.
A hilarious gift and perfect stocking stuffer, the third installment of the T-Rex Trying series features simple, charming, and hilarious illustrations depicting the hapless T-Rex and family doing their best in a world made for creatures with smaller heads and longer arms.

T-Rex trying to shear a flock of sheep... T-Rex trying to grab the toys at the bottom of his pool... T-Rex trying to put a comforter inside a duvet cover... T-Rex trying to play the bagpipes...

This book will leave you applauding (like T-Rex can't) and wiping tears from your eyes (like T-Rex wishes he could), but most of all, it will leave you wondering how on earth this animal survived a day, let alone the entire Cretaceous Period.
