Book of the Week: T-Rex in Magic Metal Town: Book 2 (Children's book)

This week's book of the week is "T-Rex in Magic Metal Town" by Ethan Howatt. It's a children's book with a fun story and great, colorful illustrations! It features a boy who lives in Magic Metal Town (which is explained in various artifacts from a magic shovel to a school bus) and who goes on a dig for dinosaur bones.    I bought a copy of this book for our neighbors' kids because they love dinosaurs and enjoy reading. Dinosaurs and magic are two things that also fascinate me, so I HAD to read this, and it was a really fun story to read as an adult! In fact, I hope he writes a sequel involving the magic and dinosaurs because I want to read it! 5 of 5 stars! 

I learned about this fun book because I taught a class on self-publishing and marketing your own book and one of the students in the class is the author!  He also authored another book in this series (for ages 5 to 10) and another series for teenagers. The teenage Sci-fi books include Z.O.M.B.I.E. Games, True Beauty and the Optimal Mind.

His 6 year old son also authored a book for his younger brother called "My Mom is ABC" with illustrations by his 6 and 4 year old boys. 

ABOUT THE BOOK: Ian loves dinosaurs and gets to meet one in Magic Metal Town! 

The first book in this series is called School Day in Magic Metal Town
