Jane Yolen has taken one of many childhood delights–dinosaurs– and created a whole line of books that teach appropriate behavior. I know, it seems like an oxymoron. Dinosaurs and good behavior? Mark Teague provides the illustrations that children and parents will both find humorous. I especially appreciated How Do Dinosaurs Eat Their Food? when my oldest son decided it would be a good idea to throw unwanted food to the floor. With Yolen and Teague’s help I was able to use show him that dinosaurs don’t eat that way and neither should he. Hey, whatever works.
