Reading great literature can be an exhilarating enterprise, one that can expand the way you see the world around you-and yourself. Unfortunately, its also an enterprise that requires a lot of what many of us dont have these days: spare time. "Great books" such as Don Quixote, War and Peace, and Bleak House constitute a grand reading list that many of us, with our busy lives, cant easily manage. Or, if we read them over weeks or months, we can easily lose our way, or even lose interest.
This extremely little short book (only 6 pages!!!) is written in the same style as Jane Yolen & Mark Teague's other dinosaur book collaborations together, such as HOW DO DINOSAURS SAY GOOD NIGHT? and HOW DO DINOSAURS GET WELL SOON? The book was created as a promotional item to teach kids to have good reading habits and to respect books. The illustrations are lively and the rhyming text delivers the message well. As short as it is, this could be one book that parents might not mind reading over and over.
