How do dinosaurs stay friends?
Few things in life are more important than friendship. Young or old, good friends laugh with us, play with us, and help dry our tears. From early childhood to life after eighty, the great challenge of any friendship is learning how to keep it healthy and strong -- by knowing how to mend fences, say "I'm sorry," and show the respect and affection we feel.
In this funny, engaging book, award-winners Jane Yolen and Mark Teague present a range of naughty dinosaur antics -- humorous exaggerated behavior that children will instantly recognize -- followed by dinosaur-sized hugs and expressions of affection. Do siblings in your home ever fight over a toy? Do good friends at school ever push or call names? And do buddies also know to share, give cookies, and apologize? Come along and laugh as little ones make friends and stay friends...the dinosaur way!
Review
Praise for How Do Dinosaurs Stay Safe?"This beloved series hit the ground running, and it's still going strong." --Booklist
"As in previous outings, Teague's artwork steals the show, the realism of the scenes and human figures juxtaposed with the giant, though childish, dinos. Labels in the illustrations and endpapers will help dino mavens identify their favorites. Don'ts and Do's in a familiar formula go down easily for fans and will provide a good conversation starter for parents." --Kirkus Reviews
Praise for How Do Dinosaurs Say I'M MAD?
"Yolen understands the value of the book beyond its surface entertainments, offering a note about the realities of anger and the value of apology. And Teague upholds his end of the bargain, carefully attending to the authenticity of the dinosaurs on display, and providing a diversity of human families as well. A solid, welcome addition to the series." --Booklist
