Jane Yolen and Mark Teague offer us a fifth "How Do Dinosaurs,,,?" title that is fresh and fun for both parents and children, fortunately back in hardcover format. Yolen's effortless text is once again perfectly matched with Teague's vivid illustrations of dinosaurs at meal time, first behaving badly and then with grace and charm. The formula has been proven effective in the previous titles but is far from trite or redundant even the fifth time around thanks to the talents of author and illustrator. Children also receive a message about manners that is far from didactic or dull, but couched in humor that parents should still enjoy after the umpteenth reading. Expect to have that umpteenth reading, too, since this one is sure to become a favorite.I just introduced the title to a storytime group and the response was positive. Children and parents sat quietly, excited to see what the dinosaurs will do next. This book, like the others in the series, are perfect for large groups or just one on one time between parent and child.Highest recommendation.
My 5yr old son loves the dinosaur series. This book is his new favorite!!!It does address things like table manners and rude "noises" @ the table -- which is a great thing for a 5 yr old boy who thinks those noises are funny.Get this and all the "How do Dinosaurs..." books!
We purchased How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight? and fell in love with it.Our dinosaur obsessed daughter loves it and we read it as our bedtime story at least a few times a week.We then looked into the other books in the series and bought this and How Do Dinosaurs... Pocket Library.This book teaches your children about proper table manners. As with the other books in the series, the dinosaurs use inproper table manners most of the way through the book and then of course demonstrate perfect table manners at the end to teach your child.I do worry about the books teaching your child worse habits before improving them but I think she probably threw a lot of food on the floor before reading this too!This one doesn't appeal as much as How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight? but is still a good fun book for children with dinosaurs and an attempt to teach your children better manners.
I received this book as a gift from my cousin. She told me that buying books for my kids is scary because my husband is a published fantasy author...it's a bit like cooking for her brother, the Sous Chef.Anyway, my 15-month-old twins have loved this book from the very start. Right now they don't understand all the words, but I enjoy reading it to them anyway. The dinosaurs' mannerisms are very apropos, so I get a laugh even though I read and reread the same 15 pages. They absolutely love the vibrant illustrations. Each time we read the book, they point out something new...a cat here, a dog there, the bib on a dinosaur.Simply put, this is one of our whole family's favorites. I am buying copies to give other parents as gifts.
Purchased as a birthday present for my two year old nephew. He loves dinosaurs and reading so it seemed like a good fit. Like a lot of kids his age he likes a food one day and will not touch it the next. I'm not saying it solved that problem completely but now if he's being fussy at the dinner table you can say, how does a Dinosaur eat their food? and it's usually good for at least a bite or two more.
This super fun series of books are sure to please all the dino lovers out there! My dino loving 4.5yr old can't get enough dinosaur books and I can't get enough of the creatively illustrated stories in this series as you journey through typical toddler and preschool behaviors with boundry testing, mood swinging picky"fun" (humorously illustrated) and still the undeniable love between parent and child. Great books to have in your little readers library!
This title and "How Do Dinosaurs say Goodnight" are the best Jane Yolen. OK maybe "How do Dinosaurs Play with Their Friends" also. These have been read so many times the pages are falling out.
I love the series! Our dog destroyed the first copy and I had to order a new one right away for my son because it's his favorite book. It has been a big help in teaching my son some basic table manners. If he starts to misbehave I ask him "Do dinosaurs do that?" and he will tell me, "NOOOOOO!" and settle down.
