It would be interesting to see the different ways students show they care about their family, and I think the students as well as the parents would have fun with the project.

I love the detail in the illustrations - so much emotion in the faces and body language of these dinosaurs! The reluctant dinosaur coming from the car was my favorite. When he made the mess in the sink, he helped mop it up. As it was, the dinosaurs were rude or mean or naughty, This is such a sweet series of books.

As it was, the dinosaurs were rude or mean or naughty, but then they'd blow a kiss and all was forgiven. A missed opportunity let's face it - love does mean saying you're sorry. Always a good storytime read. And a great family or one-on-one read too - the easy rhyme would make a good "I love you" bedtime book.

I love the series but there is something about this one that didn't keep the kids' interest as much as say, The illustrations and fonts are great and easy to read but the wording was more sing-song-like than normal.

Also, the ISBN number stated that the edition I read was just the hardcover and not the large hardcover which was surprisng because my edition was pretty darn big!

That's cool though. Recommend for one ye This is my second review of a book in this series in children's literature. Recommend for one year olds and up! Great introduction book to dinosaurs and manners! Aug 15, Jennifer rated it it was ok Shelves: family , picture-book-not-for-ra , dinosaurs.

I have enjoyed all the books in this series, but this one just left me feeling meh. I know that we, as parents, love our kids regardless of what they do. But, this book seems to give the impression that littles can be as naughty as they want and then just turn around and smile and all will be well.

Yes, all will be forgiven and we will still love you, but that doesn't automatically make everything all right! There are still consequences for poor choices and bad behavior and this book seems to pr I have enjoyed all the books in this series, but this one just left me feeling meh.

There are still consequences for poor choices and bad behavior and this book seems to promote otherwise. Sad because the rest of this series is great. I won't be using this one in story time.

Throughout this book, many types of dinosaurs so something that's not nice or even frustrating, but they each follow these negative actions by doing something sweet.

I was indifferent about this book. I don't think I'd go out of my way to read it unless my audience is just really passionate about dinosaurs or this dinosaur series. This would be another good book for inferencing. It would also be good for describing the way Throughout this book, many types of dinosaurs so something that's not nice or even frustrating, but they each follow these negative actions by doing something sweet. It would also be good for describing the way the different dinosaurs and even comparing dinosaur to dinosaur.

When the children are naughty, we love them anyway, and when the children are dinosaurs, they are loved even more!

Oh so cute - I remember this when it first came out in picture book, so excited to see this board book edition. The story is darling, and Jane Yolen is a master poet, so fun to read. Each illustration is a different dinosaur with the name carefully written in small letters nearby , and the dinosaurs are representing little children - Mark Teague, I do love your art!

That you don't have to be perfect to be loved.

What do they do that you like? What do they do that you don't like? Do you have to like everything a person does in order to love them? Aug 30, Mely rated it really liked it Shelves: picture-books.

These dinosaurs are such a hoot. This dinosaur series is overrated in my opinion, however, this is probably my favorite book of the series.

There's something so ironic about a dinosaur trying to show it's love. I adore these illustrations in the series and the rhyming text always makes this a fun read aloud. Feb 26, Ariel Webb rated it liked it. I felt like it encouraged a lot of bad behavior that was completely overlooked. Oh you ran off in the parking lot but you smiled so I love you.

Whereas the other Dinosaur books typically ask something like: Do dinosaurs hide dirty socks behind doors? NO, they fold their clothes and clean their rooms.
