I love these dinosaur books (and so does my son), however there is a couple scary pictures in this particular dino book--the one where the dinosaur is flinging pasta everywhere--he has a menacing look to him, and the pasta almost looks like blood (and there is also a large knife in this picture). Just my opinion of course....but otherwise a good book. I love the How do dinosaurs say goodnight and get well soon better.

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.

These books are wonderful. My son (3)loves dinosaurs and there aren't a lot of dinosaur books that are done well. These ones are great because he can relate to all of the topics.

Wonderfully written and illustrated, like Yolen's other dinosaur how to books. My two year old son requests me to read this one over and over again. A good book to show toddlers how dinosaurs sit still and eat all their food, since what toddler doesn't like dinos?
