It's a reading level of a 1. Jan 01, Beth rated it it was amazing Shelves: Cute illustrations, well-written rhymes, and a good moral in this one. Apr 02, Rochelle Sondae rated it liked it Shelves: The manners may have been overlooked by my 3 year old boy cousin as he was more interested in the wondrously silly pictures by Tim Bowers.
I'm pretty sure our Aunt owned a pair of glasses just like the ones the dinosaur is wearing.
It's a great read aloud thanks to the rhyming text by Judy Sierra. In fact we read it a few times and got more animated with each telling. The little guy loves to be dramatic and tried to engage me in reenacting the scenes so maybe the manners did sink in a bit. Apr 12, The Library Lady rated it really liked it Shelves: Okay, this is a book with a purpose, noted right in the subtitle.

But since it's done by Judy Sierra it's done with a lovely light touch and rhymes that work. The dinosaur is a motherly type, complete with pink retro glasses and a purse. This should do well both with dinosaur lovers and with the sort of parents who constantly want crappy "Berenstain Bear" morality fables--and you can hand it to them without a shudder. Sep 17, Robin rated it really liked it Shelves: Somewhere in my travels, I ended up with a poster for this book.
So before I affixed it to the wall in the Children's Library, I ordered the book.

There wasn't any other scenario Sierra could create to illustrate the use of "no thank you"? Apr 12, Shanaria rated it really liked it Shelves: This is an excellent book about manners. Even though what is happening in the story will not happen in real life it a great example for kids its fun and has rhyming in the story as well. Prepare a class snack and have the kids practice their manners by asking for more please and having to ask a classmate to please pass something etc. Apr 13, Shazzer rated it liked it Shelves: Lovely rhyming story from the always wonderful Judy Sierra.
It's a great book for teaching manners, in a call and response way perfect for storytime. My one quibble is the "taking food from a stranger" bit, even when the stranger is a motherly like dinosaur you just met at the grocery store. That's a conversation moment, to be sure. Jan 29, Ana rated it really liked it Shelves: A second read for me, but the first time sharing it in a Storytime setting.
Preschoolers seemed very amused by the idea of "bumping into a lady dinosaur" one that wears glasses, no less! A great story about manners that uses dinosaurs to illustrate the concept.

Great examples of please, thank you, excuse me etc and the story is a good read even if someone picked it up with a dinosaur interest instead of a teaching interest. Short and sweet with cute pictures. Definitely worth recommending to teachers and parents.
May 27, Nikki rated it really liked it Shelves: Every child should read a book similar to this to inspire politeness and manners. We liked the pictures but my daughter was confused about why the dinosaur was worried about getting fat. As a future dietitian she has been taught by me that all things are in moderation. She thought the dinosaur was being a little silly. Still a good book. There are no discussion topics on this book yet.
I took a roundabout path to becoming a children's author. Out of college I did temporary work in offices and libraries, while at night, I wrote poetry and made strange life forms from cloth. When I teamed up with a puppeteer, Bob Kaminski my husband , I was able to bring my cloth creations to life. We began performing on the streets of San Francisco, at Renaissance fairs, and at schools. After at I took a roundabout path to becoming a children's author. After attending a workshop on Balinese shadow puppetry, we traveled to Bali and Java to learn ancient techniques from modern masters, and we adapted material from American folklore to the shadow screen.
While I was a student there, I attended a talk by the author-illustrator Uri Shulevitz, and heard him say that a picture book is like a small theater. A puppet theater is also a small theater, I thought. I can do that! My first children's books were adaptations of folktales, and soon, I was able to incorporate my lifelong habit of writing poetry into my work. Currently , I live in Portland, Oregon, with my husband. I divide my writing time between children's books and a long term project on folktales, grandmothers and cultural evolution.
