T-Rex has teeth the size of bananas and eats Triceratops for breakfast, but when it's time to brush his teeth . . . T-Rex is 12 metres long and 4 metres tall, but somehow he just can't change that light bulb . . . And you can just forget about the vending machine.Containing dozens of never before seen illustrations, T-Rex Trying: The Unfortunate Trials of the Tyrant Lizard King is the cute, quirky and laugh-out-loud funny collection of cartoons that will have across the board appeal this Christmas.Hugh Murphy is a 28 year old student at the University of Southern California, Ostrow School of Dentistry.
