review 1: I must begin by saying I ADORE this series for kids, and I'm so in love with dinosaurs teaching kids about manners and proper etiquette. But I have to admit to being a little disappointed by this particular title. I still thoroughly enjoyed the illustrations of dino-tantrums and bad behavior (it's laugh-out-loud cute). But I felt like the rhyme-scheme and meter on the text was a little off. Not as good as it has been in the past. Still overall, it's a great picture book for helping kids understand how to behave (or not). And anyone who's a fan of the series will still enjoy it as a part of their collection!
review 2: I wish I enjoyed this as much as the others in the series. As a parent, I REALLY wanted several examples of acceptable behavior and expressions f
... moreor young children to emulate when they are angry. Deep breathing, counting, and time outs only take you so far. What if they don't work? I don't want my children to think that it's better to help the anger go away than to express it in an appropriate manner. less

Same formula as the other in the series, but the facial expressions are priceless!
