How Do Dinosaurs Eat Their Food?

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 if the dinosaur does it a certain way and then the 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...

How do you eat yours?

Advantages: See review
Disadvantages: See review

...is Tesco, which is where I used to shop until Asda opened, solely for the fact that it was 24hour which I found more convenient (I HATE shopping when it's busy/there are screaming kids around!). Street market - the farmer's market is near Sainsbury's, and the French market is between Safeway and Asda, so neither are very far away. Q6: Have you ever bought bread at an independent baker? Do you have any independent baker nearby ? What do you think of these? I don't think I have bought bread at an independent baker, although I do have one nearby. Every time I've been in they seem to have sold out of bread, so I've ended up going to the supermarket, or just making my own in my lovely breadmaker. Q7: Do you eat ready meals? If you do, is it for convenience, taste or other reasons? If you don't, why don't you? Depends how you...

Christmas apart, how do you eat?

Advantages: makes you think about what you eat
Disadvantages: a bit depressing at this time of year!

...Here is a set of answers to a list of questions created by the nutrition conscious French CanCan and Jill Murphy ... Q1: If your yearly food budget was £100, how much would you say you currently spend in big retailers – e.g. supermarkets? Explain why you spend so much or so little there? I suppose we do one big shop a fortnight, accounting for about 80% of our grocery budget. It depends on how busy we are on the weekends or if we go away or not. Can never be bothered to go food shopping after work that’s for sure, so the other 20% is divided between market stall produce, if I come across it, rather than deliberately going out for it and top up shopping at local shops such as Budgens on my way back from work in the evenings. Q2: Are you aware of any food produce(s) made in your area specifically? Hmm, there is a farmers...

How do dionsaurs eat their food?

Advantages: It encourages children to join in and helps them remember
Disadvantages: none

...How do Dinosaurs eat their food? This book is my grandson's favourite book when he is at my house which is well nearly every day. The book begins by asking how do dinosaurs eat their food? Does he burp or belch or make rude noises? Does he fuss fidget or squirm in his chair, does he throw his spagetti in the air? And when it comes to the big double page that says DOES A DINOSAUR GLARE, my grandson shouts along with me and laughs. The big double page of the dinosaur laying on his back with beans in his claws also has my grandson saying the words Does a dinosaur stick beans up his nose, and laughing hysterically. Then the book goes on to explain No he says please and thank you and sits very still. He tries every new thing at least one small bite. He makes no loud noises that isn't polite. The page with the dinosaur looking down...

How do I live....

Advantages: cant live without it
Disadvantages: brings back old memories

...This has to be one if not the best song I've heard. It was taken from the film con air, although in that was sung by trisha yearwood (another country singer). Leanne Rimes at 17 years old has a fantastic singing voice, well beyond her years. I brought the album with this, and love the whole album, but this one is the best. It is also a special song to me, it was the song that someone special dedicated to me, a while ago. The relationship ended.. but the song still lives on. "how do i get through one night without you, if i had to live without you, what kind of life would that be... .. how do i breath without you, how do i ever, ever survive, how do i, how do i, how do i live..." The lyrics are amazing, and say so much, and she sings them with so much emotion. It will always remain a special song to me, and something I only...

How Do

Advantages: You have some way of knowing how to improve
Disadvantages: Scumbags

...where some people may question my thinking, as the idea of people having opinions is that we are all different, so therefore I should be rating according to how HELPFUL ‘I’ think the opinion is. I actually think that maybe in some cases, CIAO have got the wrong words in here (but I can’t think of any others that can be used, so I suppose they are right). Some opinions are indeed HELPFUL, but some topics covered here are simply INTERESTING. There is the section where people can air their views on UK petrol prices or speed limits and the like. I do not see how a persons PERSONAL VIEWS on the increase or decrease in petrol prices (this is only an example), are actually HELPFUL to me. They are INTERESTING. Therefore, with the rating system that is used, a well written opinion (whether I agree or not) on a topic such as...

How do you do it?????????

Advantages: Interesting subject matter
Disadvantages: Hope my habits are interesting enough!!!

...Jillmurphy says: French CanCan and I were wondering how y'all do your food shopping, what you buy, what you cook and how you eat. So we decided to run a survey. M. CanCan will, after a decent interval, collate the results and report upon them. So, it would be most super-duper if you would all answer our questions. Could you drop us a note in our guestbooks if and when you do? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Q1: If your yearly food budget were £100, how much would you say you currently spend in big retailers - eg supermarkets? Explain why you spend so much or so little there? Well, I tend to do all of my grocery shopping supermarkets apart from the typical last minute milk and bread panic buys from the corner shop. which inevitably...

How Do 'You Do!'

Advantages: A humorous text, part of a popular series of books for children.
Disadvantages: May not appeal to boys and some may think that Daisy is a bit too cheeky!!

...This is a really popular series of books with the 4 - 5 year old girls I teach and even the boys can appreciate the humour in the illustrations, though I would hate to have a Daisy in my house, too much back-chat!! ~ Daisy Books ~ Daisy is a little girl whose naughtiness and cheekiness, really appeals to the children in my class. She's a bit of a tomboy and doesn't do dresses etc which is great as she goes a little way to against stereotypes. There are quite a few books in the series, some of which I have listed below: * Really, Really * Eat Your Peas * If I was Boss * A Bunch of Daisies * Yuk! * 006 and a Bit ~ The Story ~ It is all about Daisy's Mum telling her not to do certain things, e.g. "Don't pick your nose." "Don't slurp your soup." "Don't leave your clothes on the floor." "Don't talk with your mouth...

Do You Pout When You Go To Bed?

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

...***Background*** Jane Yolen writes many different types of books including science fiction and fantasy. She also writes books for children and this is one in her series of rhyming Dinosaur books that we found for a bargain price. Mark Teague illustrates his own picture books as well as all the illustrations in this series of books. ***The Story*** "How does a dinosaur say goodnight when Papa comes in to turn off the light? Does a dinosaur slam his tail and pout? Does he throw his teddy bear all about?" As we turn each page we see lots of bad dinosaurs misbehaving at bedtime and we are asked if he would moan and cry to try to get out of going to bed when Mama takes him too. As we near the end we find out that good dinosaurs don't act up like this at all, but that they are good to their parents and do as they are...
