review 1: 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. And, of course, I was quite pleased with this simple story about using manners (something that everyone should do, of course)illustrated with a large dinosaur who interacts with a young girl in the grocery store. The message here is: use your manners no matter what or who you meet!
review 2: While grocery shopping, a young girl encounters a dinosaur in the aisles and at the check-out line. Both dinosaur and child have good manners, and know exactly what to say when they meet and when an accident occurs. The rhyming text makes this one fun to read aloud while also providing examples of when it is appropriate to say "p... morelease, "thank you," "no, thank you," or even "I'm sorry" or "excuse me." This is the perfect way to model good manners for youngsters, especially since it comes from a child and a dinosaur. The acrylic illustrations add to the fun, showing the dinosaur up close, putting on her cat's eye pink glasses while clutching the items she plans to buy--products with the "Stone Age" or "T-Rex" label or labeled "Dino Soup" and "Caveman Crunch." The illustrations and the text make an essential lesson on manners more palatable. less
