T-Rex Trying Book

Product Description

Hugh Murphy’s T-Rex Trying is a charming collection of 100 drawings from his wildly popular Tumblr feed of the same name. Though the T-Rex may struggle, you'll never struggle with finding dinosaur gifts again!

This hilarious and perfectly giftable book is perfect for anyone who has ever wondered how a T-Rex could get anything done with such tiny arms.

T-Rex Trying to Use a Drive-Through ATM

T-Rex Trying to Break Into a Vending Machine
T-Rex Trying to Ask for a New Roll of Toilet Paper from the Next Stall

No matter whether you’re looking for: • White elephant gifts • Dinosaur gifts • Funny gifts • Gifts for mom • Gifts for dad • Gifts for children • Gifts for coworkers—this T-Rex will be sure to put a smile on the faces of your friends and family!

Great Gift (For Anyone- Even Yourself!)
by Chloe Parks (5 out of 5 stars)
May 4, 2018

Bought this book as a going away present for a good co-worker friend who is leaving town for a new job. Our office has an ongoing gag where we share funny videos and pictures involving T-Rex dinosaurs doing silly things (think the popular blow-up suits that people wear) and we call it "T-Rex Tuesdays." The co-worker who is leaving is the one who started it, so I knew I had to get him a gift that is T-Rex themed. When I found this book I knew it would be perfect. It came in perfect condition. I took it around the office and each person signed a page with a comic that resonated with them in some way or another. Everyone got a kick out of it and most people commented that they want to buy the book for themselves. It was a huge hit, and the co-worker was presented with the book today at his going away party. Whether this is for a child, as a funny gift, or even for yourself, this book is hilarious, and a perfect conversation starter for all ages and demographics. Thank you, Hugh Murphy!

Human relatable!!

My daughter is barely 5 foot tall and surprise (not) short people have short arms!

Her little bother told her one time she was like "REX From TOY STORY!!!" And it turned into a good running joke at our home..her nickname is Rex...LOL. When I spotted this book...I knew she would get a huge laugh...and we all did!

She took it to work and it got passed around and everyone had some good belly laughs...and even her husband took it took work to pass around during a high stess time in the office..he said the chuckles it brought was just what everyone needed to kind of get a better mind set to get thru that day.

It's great for the funny bones ......even when your funny bone is pretty much your shoulder bone..ha ha.

Weird printing. But great book.

Great book. Love it. Mine is printed upside down. When I open the front cover, the last page is there instead of he title page. It is backwards and upside down. So I flipped it and opened it from the back. Everything is there and it's in great shape. Just odd that it was printed as such.

Perfect coffee table book
by Falcmanb (5 out of 5 stars)
February 20, 2018

This book is hysterical. Perfect for your coffee table. I had found it in an Amazon store originally and had been thinking about it ever since. each page is an illustration of a T Rex trying to do something, with a caption. They have short arms, big bodies, big heads etc - so basically everything for them is awkward and comical.

Cute, funny book
by Seeking Quality (5 out of 5 stars)
September 9, 2019

This is a clever, cute, and funny book -- a perfect small gift guaranteed to bring a smile and a laugh. The author pokes fun at the fearsome T-rex by showing the limited capacity of his tiny arms. Each cartoon is well-conceived, funny, and charming.

dont waste your time
by that-Constance-chick (1 out of 5 stars)

Waste of money. I thought it was a story but it is just a random collection of things a T-Rex cant do. Laughed at about 3 of the pages but definitely not worth it.

Very silly (and fun) book!
by Karen (5 out of 5 stars)

I found this very funny. After I read it, I continued to have "flashes" of different pages (ie. thinking of "T-Rex clapping") and would giggle. I finally bought a few for friends, just so I would be the only one doing this! I have a sticker now on my car that reads "I love you this mu...! Whoops!" with a T-Rex barely holding out its arms...

Are you Quirky? So is this book!
by E. M. Butts (5 out of 5 stars)

Do you have a quirky sense of humor (that some people outside of your mind refer to as 'sick')? This may be just the book for you! My dad and I love T-Rexs, and have been told we have an odd sense of humor...I heard of "T-Rex Trying" and looked it over! After wetting myself laughing at it, I knew I had found dad's 69th birthday present!!! Total home run, he loved it as much as I did...as did many family members... the one that got the biggest laughs? Sun tan lotion :-)

Super funny book, but definitely aimed at adults
by KZ (4 out of 5 stars)

This book is definitely adult humor (but not in a censored way) and has many more pages than anticipated. We purchased it as a gift for our nephew, however my brother is getting way more fun from it for now!
