Looking for Rex — Jan Ormerod

An award-winning duo has teamed up to create a heartfelt story about anticipation, longing, and the need to compromise

Gramps plays along with their game of "Looking for Rex." They point out dogs on their way home from school -- but none of them are Rex. They are too small, too big, or too smelly. Why can't they find the right Rex?
