This book was about a dinosaur who used his roar to scare all of his friends and prevent them from completing their daily task. When the dinosaur lost his roar, all of his friends made fun of him and did not want to be his friend. When his friends were kidnapped by a bigger, stronger dinosaur Sid had to use his roar to save all of them.

The central message of this book is to use your powers for good, and not evil. His friends did not like him when he would only use his roar to scare them but once he used it to save them they were finally friends again. This teaches children that is better to be kind, and only treat others the way you want to be treated as well. ( )

Sid loves to sneak up behind his friends and scare them with his ferocious roar, which his friends don't enjoy nearly as much as he does. One day, he gets a sore throat, and his roar is gone. When he goes to visit his friends, they are gone, too! Now, his friends are in danger. Will Sid be able to save them with his powerful voice? This cartoon illustrations use almost neon colors, causing the dinosaurs' presence on (or absence from) the page to be immediately apparent to the reader, with simple text and an engaging story. Suitable for beginning readers aged 5 to 8. Recommended purchase. ( )
