How Do Dinosaurs Eat Their Food?
Cover art of children's picture book How Do Dinosaurs Eat Their Food by Jane Yolen The Blue Sky Press, An Imprint of Scholastic
This very funny children's picture book is a favorite with three- to six-year-olds. Told in rhyme by Jane Yolen, How Do Dinosaurs Eat Their Food? contrasts terrible table manners with good table manners. The illustrations by Mark Teague will tickle your child's funny bone. While the illustrations are of typical scenes at the dinner table, all of the children are depicted as huge dinosaurs.

The examples of such bad manners as squirming at the table or playing with food are hilariously portrayed by the dinosaurs. The scenes of dinosaur's behaving well are equally memorable. Compare prices. (The Blue Sky Press, An Imprint of Scholastic, 2005. ISBN: 0439241022)
