How does a dinosaur eat all his food?

Does he burp, does he belch, or make noises quite rude?

Does he pick at his cereal, throw down his cup,

hoping to make someone else pick it up?

Just like kids, dinosaurs have a difficult time learning to behave at the table. However, with a little help from Mom and Dad, these young dinosaurs eat all before them with smiles and goodwill.

As in their previous books, Yolen and Teague capture children's rambunctious natures with playful read-aloud verse and wonderfully amusing pictures.
