How Do Dinosaurs Eat Their Food?

How Do Dinosaurs Eat Their Food? is another in the How Do Dinosaurs.... series. This book goes over eating and manners with the same familiar language as the other books in the series. I think that it is a great addition to the series and can be useful for the familiarity for young children.

I think that his book can be used in a kindergarten or first grade classroom when talking about manners in the lunch room. Many students come in not knowing how to behave in public eating places and this book can spark much discussion about proper manners. I think that this text gives great bad and good behavior examples that can help make the distinction for young children on what they should and should not be doing.

I really do like how the children characters in this book and the others are all represented by dinosaurs and the parents are all still represented by humans. I thin that a lot of young children like to make-believe that they are something other than actual children and this feeds into that type of imaginitive play while teaching good human behaviors.
