"Greathouse's humorous tall tale language never falters and readers will relish cinematic scenes of Rocky and T. Rex tussling, creating several landmarks in the process." Publisher's Weekly 

"Who knew purple, green, and striped dinosaurs in need of taming roamed the Wild West? In true outlaw fashion, there's a showdown between Rocky (a cowboy small-in-stature but larger-than-life), who "could rope a Stegasaurus at ninety paces while wearin' a blindfold and eatin' a prickly pear," and " the toughest, the most ferocious dinosaur to ever kick dirt: T. Rex." American Library Association's Booklist Journal

"Yessiree, it's the finest dino-meets-cowboy yarn since Betty G. Birney's Tyrannosaurus Tex." School Library Journal

Carol Greathouse grew up on a farm in Pennsylvania, where she loved to lose herself in a good book. Now grown up-with a large family and family farm of her own-Carol continues to surround herself with good books. Her previous writing was centered around her love of agriculture and rural living. The Dinosaur Tamer is her debut picture book. She found inspiration in her children's interests (cowboys and dinosaurs) and her love of travel.
