This is a fun read for beginner readers. I used this book as a read aloud in Mrs. Hoggle's kindergarten classroom. The book has alot of colorful pictures of different dinosaurs. It asks several questions about dinosaurs behavior in school. By the end of the story the author talks about how the dinosaurs behave so well in school. The students loved it!

This is a crazy book to read, but I think children would love it because it is funny and different.

Short, with great illustrations, gives lessons about good behavior ( )

This story is about a dinosaur who goes to school. The story depicts all the wrong ways that a dinosaur should act at school. On each page the dinosaur is drawn way out of proportion to the other objects on the page to emphasize it's importance. By the end of the book the dinosaur was shown doing all the right things to be successful at school.
The illustration in this book was eye catching to me. The dinosaurs being drawn larger than the other items made them stand out and seem important. I liked it that each dinosaur was labeled with it's correct name on the page.
This book could be used on a study about dinosaurs. The book could be used to help children adjust to coming to school. This book could also be used on an unit of manners and the proper way to act at school.

The dinosaur books by Yolen are great because they teach kids valuable lessons without sounding preachy. They get to see dinosaur kids behaving badly, and then the dinosaur kids learn how to do things right. Its also funny because the dinosaur kids have human parents, and another fun feature of the books is that on every page the correct name for that dinosaur is hidden and its fun to find it and try to sound it out with the kids.
