How Do Dinosaurs Get Well Soon?

This is a playful dinosaur tale about a sick dinosaur child who catches the flu and must go to the doctor. Just like kids, little dinosaurs hate being sick. And going to the doctor can be pretty scary. How DO dinosaurs get well soon? They drink lots of juice, and they get lots of rest; they're good at the doctor's, 'cause doctors know best.

How Do Dinosaurs Get Soon by Jane Yolen is an extremely cute book with vibrant, eye-catching illustrations. The first few pages are a series of questions relating to how you think a dinosaur would act if it is sick. It definitely relates to children because the way that the dinosaurs are acting while they are sick is exactly how children would act when they are sick. Every question Yolen asked pertaining to how dinosaurs would act while they are sick, I've seen in real life with my nieces and nephews. If I were to read this book to them, they would LOVE it. They would immediately start giggling and relating to the story it is them and it also rhymes! Who doesn't love a good rhyme?

This book is silly and outrageous, as the characters in the book are dinosaurs who are in the role of young children. Through the storytelling, this book teaches children that bad behavior looks silly, and enforces good behavior when sick. The artwork by Mark Teague is just realistic and detailed enough, but yet still colorful and exaggerated.

Genre: modern fantasy/poetry
The book is very simplistic but it gets the point that kids need to do these things in order to get well. It shows that things one has to do when they are sick have to be done. Even if they may seem scary or be new. Using dinosaurs is a fun idea. Great lively illustrations that complement the text. It is interesting and I will use it for lower elementary.

A very good rhyme scheme. The book is very simplistic but it gets the point that kids need to do these things in order to get well.

Dinosaurs get sick too, but do they act out. Do put their tissues on the floor and spit out their medicene? No dinosaurs act very nice when they are sick. They listen to the doctor and do what he says to get better. This book shows children even dinosaurs who are made out to be mean do what it takes to get better. It teaches children that they should take their medicene and not act up.

Each of the different dinosaurs are taken to the doctor to fix their flu.
This book has a good use of rhyme and rhythm that makes it catchy and interesting to listen to. I noticed each dinosaur is names somewhere in the illustration so its easy to read which one is which. The book could easily be written about children and what happens when they get sick but it is more creative with dinosaurs.
