Uh-oh, the dinosaurs are now sick! How are they going to act being sick at home and when they are taken to the doctor? Children will be able to relate to this picture book because I am sure at one point of their young lives they have been sick. They will see through the detailed illustrations by talented illustrator Mark Teague how they should and should not act when they are sick. Those with an eye for detail will notice the name of each dinosaur illustrated into the picture (and most are not t...
Our first "How do Dinosaurs..." book. It was Kathryn's choice for her summer reading prize. Pretty cute book, may have to investigate some of the the other titles.
We love many of the other “How Do Dinosaur” books, but this one missed the mark for me. Some pages seemed to blame the dinosaur/child for being sick. The one that really stuck out to me basically asked if a dinosaur threw up in a bucket. Anyone who has read these knows that the answer is typically “No!” when you’re reading with the kids, because the first half of the books always have dinosaurs doing something they shouldn’t. If a kid has a stomach bug, YES he should throw up in a bucket! Seriou...
My 5 yr old requested this as one of our reads this morning even though we've read it before. Way below his level reading wise, but right up his alley story wise. A cute story about dinosaurs getting sick and what they should do, and what they do do, when it happens. Even my twin 3 yr olds were fascinated at the dinosaurs that refused to open their mouths for their doctors to get their temperature taken. And rhyming is always a big win in our family. Great book!
I like seeing all the different dinosaurs in their scenes. It's so creative.
In general, I like this series. But this one rubbed me the wrong way. I guess because it seemed like it's telling kids that if you're sick you can't groan or complain. Maybe you shouldn't, but telling kids that seems mean. When you don't feel well, what else are you supposed to do? Plus, I don't like the message that doctors know everything. *After reading other reviews I felt like I was being too mean to this book. I just didn't like it as well as the others in this series. The end. lol
The goal is to own all these books. My boy had his 4 month shots today so I thought this book was a fitting read for my boy who wasn’t feeling super good.
This is a funny and memorable childhood book that my brothers and I shared years ago. I will make sure to hold onto these!
My nephew pulled this off the library shelf, which I thought was ironic since he spent two days in the hospital last week. Maybe it's because he is so fresh off of that horrible and scary experience, but neither he nor I liked this book. When you're a sick kid you don't need an etiquette lesson. I felt like this book was a whole lot of, "suck it up, baby," and I didn't like that message. The only reason I'm giving it two stars instead of one is because the kids liked the dinosaurs.
I liked it because some of the dinosaurs listened to the doctor and then some of them didn’t.
My son loves this series for the dinosaurs. He thinks the ridiculousness of the dinosaurs' antics is pretty funny. That said, this was not one of his favorites. We first read it when he wasn't sick and then soon after when he was sick, he wanted to read it again. I think he might have thought it was unreasonable to say he shouldn't moan and groan if he's feeling unwell, even if it doesn't say that specifically. At any rate, it doesn't whollop you one with the didactics like some. Of the others i...
Not the best of the Dinosaurs series, but perfect for a sick child.
This is a humorous children's book that talks about dinosaurs who do not want to any of the tasks that require them to feel better. The dinosaurs throw tantrums and hide so that they don't have to take medicine or go to the doctor. But towards the end you start to see how the dinosaurs really behave once they want to feel better! The grade level best suited for this book would be K-4. I would use this book as a transition book. I think the children would really enjoy it and it also has a good mo...
Getting sick is normal and learning how to get better is part of getting smarter.
A fun book for anyone - large or small - who has ever said "Atchoo!" -- Skye W.
Not nearly as good as How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight?. Skip this one and just read it's predecessor.
Such a great book to read with your favorite people. I even read it to my husband. First got it from the library, then had to buy my own copy. The subtle humor and illustrations will amuse adults as well as kiddos.
very disappointed in jane yolen and mark teague...not their usual great work
Really enjoyed this read! Upon opening the book, it had a whole page of all the different types of dinosaurs that were mentioned throughout the book. Had a good rhyme scheme and the words were a larger font and easier to read. This book will definitely be in my future classrooms as it teaches us about dinosaurs, rhyming, and had a good story line. Overall, very good book. Also part of a series!
This book is a great attention grabber for going to the doctor or just love dinosaurs.
