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 depicts the stubby-armed tyrant in a range of hilarious—yet pathos-inducing—activities that we humans take for granted. Murphy’s 100 drawings include:

T-Rex Trying to Paint His House
T-Rex Trying to Use a Drive-Through ATM
T-Rex Trying to Apply Sunscreen
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

It’s hard to be the Lizard King when you can’t even change a light bulb. Looks like the ancient beast isn’t so tough after all.

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!

Dr. Hugh Murphy is a Prosthodontist living and practicing in Raleigh, NC.  He created T-Rex Trying while in dental school and enjoys seeing all of the laughter and amusement his books bring to his readers.  He loves drawing, painting, fly-fishing, nature and most of all, spending time with his family.
