Humorous Illustrations, easy-to-read text, and dinosaurs introduce young children to good manners and prosocial behavior. Dinosaurs don't just take, take, take; dinosaurs do share. When they are mad, they don't hit or bite; instead they use words to express their feelings. They shout and run outdoors; they don't shout at a wedding or run in the china shop. Illustrating this book with funny pictures of dinosaurs, Steve Björkman helps young children learn the benefits of being considerate toward others and the secret to making friends. An I Like to Read® book. Guided Reading Level E.
"The dos and don'ts are explained in simple terms, and the humorous cartoon illustrations (some with speech-bubble dialogue) effectively show how each dinosaur's good or bad behavior makes others feel. The familiar words and text repetition will help new readers gain confidence."—The Horn Book
"Straightforward behavior modeling for newly fledged independent readers."—Kirkus Reviews
"deftly combine[s] text and art to create a positive experience for new readers."—School Library Journal
