About the Book



From the bestselling creators of "The Bad Seed" and "The Good Egg" comes a dinosaur who loves to "ROAR!" But when he gets a sore throat, the doctor tells him he can't roar for a week! What's a dinosaur to do? Full color.



Book Synopsis



From The Bad Seed and The Good Egg creators, Jory John and Pete Oswald, comes a story about a dinosaur who loves to ROAR.

William the dinosaur likes to roar.

At the park?"ROAR."

At the bus stop?"ROAR!"

At the farm? You bet. ROARRR!

William never lets the chance to roar pass him by, even if others find it rather bothersome.

That's until William gets a sore throat and the doctor warns him not to roar for a WHOLE week. But can this overexcited, boisterous, giant lizard not do what dinosaurs are meant to do?!

In his humorous and insightful style, Jory John creates an epic story about unapologetically and happily being yourself, no matter the cost. Another side-splitting combination of John's brilliant text and Pete Oswald's expressive and lively illustrations, That's What Dinosaurs Do is a read-aloud that young readers will roar for again and again.



From the Back Cover



This is William.

William is a dinosaur who loves to roar. Because, well, he's a dinosaur.

But when William gets a sore throat, the doctor tells him, "No roaring for a week!"

No roaring at the mailman or the bus driver.

No roaring in line or at the park.

That means absolutely NO roaring at anyone or anything? This can't be happening!

Will this overexcited dinosaur make it through the week without roaring at all?!

Not the greatest message, cute drawings.

Nice drawings, but the dinosaur scares people by roaring at them, because “that’s what’s dinosaurs do”. That seems kind of like a boys will be boys mentality. Even is that is how dinosaurs “talk”, still not nice to scare people intentionally.

That’s what dinosaurs do....

“William had a really great weekend. But now his throat hurt from way too much roaring. William went to the doctor.” This story follows William the roaring dinosaurs who roars way too much because...that's what dinosaurs do. The dilemma is that William gets sick from all his roaring. But don't worry. When he gets better he goes right back to roaring because...that's what dinosaurs do. I bought this book for my 3 year old dinosaur obsessed godson. I was sad at the ending. I found it disheartening. In my opinion it was just bleh. BUT he loved it and roared around the house for hours. He ran to get all his dinosaurs out and had a great big dinosaur party. The pictures are very good and I enjoyed it all until the very end where to me, fell flat. I expected more learning and growing from William. But my godson, who the book was intended for, loved it very much.
