review 1: Short and cute, just like the little kids it is intended for. In "My Dinosaur is Scared of Vegetables" by Lily Lexington, Jack has a pet dinosaur, who is afraid to eat vegetables. On the first page, Jack's dinosaur is hiding in a closet, whimpering and sucking his thumb, because it is dinner time, but neither of them wants to eat their vegetables. When Jack explained why he couldn't come to dinner, his mother sent "his dinosaur" to bed; Jack went with him. He grumbled to his dinosaur that he didn't care if he never ate again. The next morning Jack and his pet went down for breakfast, anxious to start today's baseball game. But instead of his usual fare, Jack found nothing but vegetables on the table! Jack's dinosaur ran and hid under the table in the family room, while Jac... morek's mom told him he WILL eat his vegetables immediately. But Jack still refused, claiming that his dinosaur was to blame. So Jack's mother took them to the baseball game, where the dinosaur fell asleep and Jack played terribly. Back at home, Jack's mother asked to have a serious talk with the dinosaur. After the talk, Jack's mom came in and told Jack that she and his dinosaur had figured out why Jack played so poorly that day: he was lacking the vitamins in the vegetables he refused to eat! Jack's mother handed him a carrot. To Jack's surprise, his dinosaur did NOT run and hide. He actually encouraged Jack to take a bite. When he did, he was surprised to find the carrot tasted pretty good after all. Even his dinosaur had agreed to try broccoli and peas, and from then on Jack always ate his vegetables.This story is written in rhyme, with large, appropriate pictures on each page; just the combination toddlers and pre-schoolers enjoy most. This book is not like some kids' books, which seem contrived or just plain don't make sense. This tale is a logical, cohesive story with a plot, a purpose, and appeal. Your youngster is sure to enjoy having you read this story to him; he might even eat his vegetables!
review 2: My Dinosaur is Scared of Vegetables by Lily LexingtonIllustrated very colorful children's book about how Jack's dinosaur does not like or eat vegetables. One night when they refuse they just go to bed.Next morning there is no breakfast at the table, but last night's vegetables still waiting to be eaten.The dinosaur ran to hide under the living room table, away from the vegetables. They get in the car and go to the ball game.He had lost the game because he was so slow and Mom talked to the dinosaur and they figured out why he was slow.they agreed that he needed to eat his vegetables, every day.Good lesson.End of the book shows other books by the same author. less
