Review of How Do Dinosaurs Get Well Soon? - Jane Yolen by belfin

Advantages: Shows children the importance of resting when they are unwell
Disadvantages: none

...a child (or moaning bloke) how not to behave when they are ill and starts by showing what it would look like if the dinosaurs dropped tissues over the floor and threw their medicine away. It shows human mothers trying to deal with all this bad behaviour and how much easier it is for them when the dinosaurs behave properly. The best thing is that it does this is a really amusing but sensible way and children can learn that it isn't really funny to ...
...the importance of rules on how to behave in different situations. I know I have had trouble in the past with getting my son to bed or to eat his tea properly. I know I am not alone in this and so would have to recommend trying this set of books to help get the message across to their darling toddlers. ***Other Dinosaur Books*** How Do Dinosaurs Eat Their Food?

How Do Dinosaurs Eat Their Food?
Review of How Do Dinosaurs Eat Their Food? - Jane Yolen by sewbizzie

Advantages: Good story
Disadvantages: None

How Do Dinosaurs Eat Their Food? THE STORY The story begins by asking questions about how a dinosaur eats his food. Does it belch or make rude noises? Does he pick at it, does he fuss, does he flip it in the air and goes on to ask more questions. We are then told exactly how a dinosaur does eat his food. MY OPINION The story is very easy to follow and it does all follow a rhyming pattern. The main part of the story is the asking questions about ...
...last few pages show us how the dinosaur sits and eats it nicely. My boys like this story and they answer the questions which are asked at the beginning. The words are all spread out over 29 pages with only a few words on each page which is great for my 5 year old as he is now able to read most of them by himself and is not put off by there being loads of text in the one place. There are nice illustrations on all of the pages which too me have ... Read review

Do You Pout When You Go To Bed?
Review of How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight - Jane Yolen by belfin

Advantages: Great rhymes and teaches children how to behave well
Disadvantages: none

...great help to show him how he should have behaved. Unfortunately by the time we discovered it, he had grown out of all that although there are occasions when he still plays up a little bit and tries to convince us that one story more wouldn't be so bad. The best thing about this book is that it is done in a way that children will find amusing but will see that it's really better for them to behave. The clever rhymes and lovely artwork in this book ...

...to write to much as its only a short story and i will spoil it. The pictures in the book are lovely and the detail is great the child can see clearly what's going on if they cant read and is looking at the book by themselves. I love this book as it helps children realise that its not all that bad to go into hospital and have a operation so if your child is going in to hospital i think this book is a must as it will help them to stop being so worried ...
