How Do Dinosaurs Learn Their Colors?/How Do Dinosaurs Play With Their Friends?



The version of How Do Dinosaurs Play With Their Friends? and How Do Dinosaurs Learn Their Colors? is a double flip book that contains both books in one. The first book, How Do Dinosaurs Learn Their Colors? is a great book that goes through "Dinosaur colors" (Yolen, NP). It is a great book to teach colors both for the actual lesson of teaching colors and for emergent readers to identify color words. The words that say the color are bolded and colored with the color of the word, i.e., the word "red" is colored red. The colors also correspond to the pictures and the objects are colored just a vividly ans the word to make a further connection.

The second book How Do Dinosaurs Play With Their Friends? is a great book about sharing and friendship. It would be a great book to teach classroom/playground behavior. It goes into depth on sharing with friends giving great examples of how not to be as well as ways you want children to be.

Both books use rhyme to add to the text and great illustrations of life-like dinosaurs with the actual name of the dinosaur printed by it.
