Overview:
Rex Dinosaur In Disguise Series by Elys Dolan brings three witty, highly illustrated adventures for ages 3–7 in one vibrant collection. Rex is king of the dinosaurs, and in his world carnivores want to be him while herbivores dream of being spared by him—that’s the joke, until an Ice Age twist freezes Rex in a glacier. Waking up 65 million years later, Rex discovers humans rule the roost and the modern world presents fresh challenges—and the real risk that he could end up in a zoo if he isn’t clever. This trio of stories, illustrated with energy and charm, blends quick humor with kid-friendly action, inviting young readers to root for Rex and his friends.

Across Rex Dinosaur In Disguise, Undercover Alien and Museum Mystery, readers follow Rex and his pals Sandra, Anish and Bigfoot as they navigate mischief, mysteries and make-believe disguises.

Readers will discover how friendship, teamwork and quick thinking help solve problems, even when the odds feel silly or confusing. The stories reward curiosity with humorous outcomes, while reinforcing themes of resilience and cooperation. With each tale, young readers meet new settings and challenges, all rendered in Dolan’s bright, engaging style that keeps the pages turning and little hands eager for more adventures.

Book-by-Book Guide:
Rex Dinosaur In Disguise unfolds as Rex, the dinosaur leader, negotiates a world that has changed drastically since his time. When a glacier traps him in an Ice Age mishap and he awakens to modern life, Rex must rely on quick wit and loyal friends to avoid capture and to prove that he can belong in this new era. The narrative balances playful banter with the thrill of exploration, as Rex learns that bravery comes in many forms. The book’s humor is anchored in likable characters and accessible language, making it a delightful entry point for emergent readers who enjoy goofy science-fantasy scenarios and fast-moving chapters that feel more like adventures than chores.

Undercover Alien ramps up the mystery as life in Rex’s school hits a snag: the guinea pigs disappear from the pet show. Rex, reimagined as a dinosaur-turned-PE teacher, is quick to become the fall guy. Determined to clear his name, he teams with Sandra, Anish and Bigfoot to crack the case. The plot blends physical humor with clever sleuthing, inviting readers to follow clues, spot red herrings and cheer for problem-solving teamwork. The set pieces are lively and accessible, with friendly interactions that emphasize cooperation, empathy and perseverance. It’s a playful ride that proves young readers thrive on teamwork as much as on laughs.

Museum Mystery sends Rex toward a city museum, where bones and bumpy surprises promise a fresh kind of adventure. Museums can be daunting, and this story leans into that tension with humor and heart. When havoc disrupts the exhibit halls, Rex and his crew must uncover the culprit and protect a new friend along the way. The undercover angle—Rex taking on a security role—delights with its caper-like cadence and clever misdirection. The trio’s friendship remains central as they navigate spooky corridors, unravel clues and bring the mystery to a satisfying, kid-friendly climax that leaves readers eager for the next page turn.
