Reginald's a T. rex who is just as mighty as the rest.  He has a loud roar and all the speed a dino could need.  But, when it comes to mealtime, he would rather chow down on beans and greens than the juicy steaks his pals prefer.  So when the other dinosaurs make him feel like he doesn't belong, Reginald shows his clan how strong a vegetarian T. rex can be.  A celebration of delicious fruits and veggies, T. Veg is a rollicking, laugh-out-loud tale about a brave dinosaur who dares to be different.  --Publisher
