Dinosaurs Don't, Dinosaurs Do - (I Like to Read) by Steve Björkman (Paperback)

About the Book

An easy-to-read text and dinosaurs introduce young children to good manners, the benefits of being considerate toward others, and the secret to making friends.

Book Synopsis

Humorous Illustrations, easy-to-read text, and dinosaurs introduce young children to good manners and prosocial behavior. Dinosaurs don't just take, take, take; dinosaurs do share. When they are mad, they don't hit or bite; instead they use words to express their feelings. They shout and run outdoors; they don't shout at a wedding or run in the china shop. Illustrating this book with funny pictures of dinosaurs, Steve Björkman helps young children learn the benefits of being considerate toward others and the secret to making friends. An I Like to Read(R) book. Guided Reading Level E.
