About book T-Rex Trying (2013)

This book is laugh out loud hilarious.browsing through the pages you'll probably follow these steps:1-You first glance at a few pages and think it's mean2-Then you realize it's so ridiculous you start to laugh a little inside. 3-Before you know it your eyes start tearing because you're laughing so hard4-You feel the urge to share this experience with someone else by pointing at the pages, imitating the t-rex while being unable to make correct sentences because it's too hard to breath. It is very dangerous to read this book while invigilating a class test: one could be quite disruptive while the students are trying their best! Murphy's visual jokes are beyond funny. In this amusing, irreverent way he makes me consider the plight of disabled people in our society, although I don't think he intended his jokes to have such a deep social impact. Amidst all the failures (T-Rex trying to pull the rip-cord on his parachute ...) the tiny (literally!) successes are part of the fun.Murphy se visuele grappies oor die arme enorme T-Rex wat met sy superkort armpies sukkel om in die moderne lewe reg te kom, laat my kliphard lag - en 'n bietjie nadink.
