Reminiscent of dinnertime at my home... November 10, 2007
I love this book because it reminds me so much of a typical dinner at our house, complete with trying to convince my daughter to try what we put on her plate. The illustrations are truly funny, with human parents attempting to coax their dinosaur children into behaving at the table. The book does a great job of teaching children about table manners without preaching at them. It's great fun to read and sure to provoke many a giggle.
Top of the list September 10, 2007
When I read this to my son, I act out what they're talking about on each page. He finds this to be quite humorous, and this has propelled this book to the top of his favorites list. (He's 21 months)
Great illustrations! August 27, 2007
My two and a half year old is really into dinosaurs. My mother bought him this book and he loves it. The only problem is after I turn each page he says, "Mommy, what is that dinosaurs name?" It is interesting that scientists named these creatures such long and hard to pronounce names. But he learns and so do I. The illustrations are wonderful. If your child really enjoys the illustrations then I would stay away from the board books because the dinosaur pictures are much smaller so you don't get the full impact of the pictures as in the hardcover books. The advantages of the board books however, are that your child does not rip the pages and they are easy to transport for road trips. So no matter the format, if your child is into dinosaurs, they will really enjoy this book series and so will you.
 How Do Dinosaurs Eat Their Food? July 14, 2007
How Do Dinosaurs Eat Their Food? blends a child's curiosity and interest in dinosaurs and the parental desire to teach table manners. The story starts out showing colourful illustrations of various types of dinosaurs as they are in the act of eating in ill-mannered ways. The caption below asks if the dinosaur ate this way. For instance, "does he bubble his milk?" At the end of the story, the child gets an answer that dinosaurs always ate with the best of manners.
Though definitely not realistic in it's depiction of how dinosaurs really ate, this book is fun. It also allows parents to reinforce table manners in a new less openly nagging way. This book also includes a cute little mini rendition of the same story for kids to carry in their pocket or to read along with.
Once again, a hit July 3, 2007
The dinosaur series is a hit with our family. This one is good to remind them about manners and being polite to others at the table. The one I got came with a mini book too so I can take it to restaurants for added emphasis.
